Default Greasing my bearings?

Its that time to grease my bearings.

me and my friend were on our way to ocatilla wells a few weeks ago and his wheel fell off. His bearings were dry, weakening the hub and it came off lol so it got me worried,

Do i need to buy replacement dust caps or are they re useable?
Thanks

allright, Thanks lol.

Do you know anything about lubricating the drive shaft, or are the bearings in that also sealed?

Everything in driveshaft is fine too...so dont lube anything...suspension (if stock) you cant lube either...wheel bearing unless you have an issue don't do anything
