unlikely I think, older gen cars used to have grease nipple for you to replenish old grease, newer car parts abolished those and instead you just throw the part

unlikely I think, older gen cars used to have grease nipple for you to replenish old grease, newer car parts abolished those and instead you just throw the part away and replace. I'm sure some would say it's designed obsolescence but I think it's probably worth while for good portion of the cases as that grease nipple can introduce contaminants too... the cynics in me thinks the hybrids and ev are still over engineered to convince the masses, once mass adoption began the electronics can build in design obsolescence much easier..
