D44 rear axle bearings - grease pack?

I installed a Dana 44 rear axle under my '92 XJ I6 Auto tranny some months ago. At this time I re-geared and installed new bearings on carrier, pinion, and the axles. It's been about 20K miles and no complaints.

But I woke up yesterday wondering if I goofed. I didn't pack the axle bearings with heavy grease. At the time I simply assumed that the differential oil would provide proper lube. Did I goof?

Thanks!

no need to pack diff bearings, the gear oil keeps em lubed up.

I think he's refering to the bearings on the axle shafts.
If it's like the d35 they need grease.

The diff oil should make it's way down the axle tube to the bearings, the seal is outboard of the bearings, it's all good.
