Depends on the bearing.
Stock yes (cone and roller like front bearings)
Green no (sealed like ford 9")

Yes and that reminds me, I need to pull mine and do that. They are a little noisy. I never worked at a Mopar dealer but I always thought they were lubed by the rear end lube. They are not.

that's why I asked
Or you can take out the tapered roller bearings and install "Green bearings" which are sealed double ball bearings. There are 2 different styles. I kind of like the flanged Mopar Performance style sold by Summit.

The grease seal between the bearing and the center section is a sure giveaway! 
Yep. I owned many Mopars in the last 50 years and never had a 8 3/4 apart until a few years back. Never had to. LOLThe grease seal between the bearing and the center section is a sure giveaway!

If your real axle bearings are making noise, it's too late for grease to help them. You'll need some new ones.
