Are new drive shafts greased from the factory?

So I just received my new lucky 8 front drive shaft today. Before I install it do I need to grease it or has it already come ready to go from their shop?

Are you referring to the u joint zerks? Always good to grease them. I think he sells two, an aftermarket one without a greasable centering ball, and the tom woods which has a greasable centering ball.
