because they are looking for money. For a ex. when you want to grease your front end you have to take is apart. when you take it apart you ussaly have to buy bushings depending on how bad it is. When a normal joe goes to buy a part they normal go to a local Honda dealer and buy it there thus honda makes more money.

they also design a better sealed and longer life joint but they aren't as accepting of grease. In the long run pulling the suspension apart and greasing it occasionally it better than geaseing it with a gun anyway

totally agree here, it also gives you a chance to check out whats going on with your stuff, you'd never know if something was wrong if you just kept putting grease and not taking it apart. Most of the bearings are sealed, and you'd blow the seal if you tryed to grease them with a gun.
