They are  made both ways.  Try for the ones WITH!

    UH OH, here I go being controversial again. There  are some Brute Force 
U-joints out there that are sealed with no zerk fitting. I  use these whenever 
I can justify the cost as they are more expensive. I even use  them on the 
race car. I do clean out the grease that the factory puts in and put  in my 
AMSOIL GREASE.
 
    That being said, new u-joints may cure the problem  for a very short 
while. I think the real problem is where the stub axle goes in  the diff. The slip 
fit of the diff is worn out in this spot letting the axle  move much more 
than it is supposed to and that is what is making your click. It  will be the 
short stub axle that is making the noise.
