You can put that off as long as you don't have any kingpin movement (I'm guessing that you already knew that).

Apparently someone has greased them on schedule throughout the kingpins life.
The operators manual suggests every 1,000 miles. With the vast improvement in road quality, especially very few dirt roads these days, every 1,000 miles is overkill. I do mine every oil change at 3,000 miles.
