Other than factory zerks, where else to grease suspension?

On a stock TJ, other than the seven zerk fittings, is there any part of the suspension that should be greased periodically?
 
The driveshafts is one area people forget, early models had greaseable u joints and depending on what replacement you use you could have those on a later model as well.

Thanks. So no other parts of the suspension though?

As for the driveshaft, thanks. I have an early model, so I'm interested. What makes a u-joint greaseable vs not? Or what exactly was different about our early model ones? Thanks.

If the ujoint has a zerk it’s greaseable.

Thanks for this. My 97 doesn't have zerks on the driveshaft u-joints. It's an SE, so maybe this was only on early model Sports and Saharas?

My 97 4 popper had them but I guess it could just be from replacement u joints. I havent seen that style on my 2006, 2005, or the 06 I had before.
