General wear finishes them off too. My Jimny hadn't seen 4WD when i bought it 2 years ago, let alone mud!
I'm going to slap some waterproof grease around my swivels when i get chance this week. Keep the water ingress to a minimum.

4Wd when off roading in the dry breaks the transmission :ohmy:
You need some slippage to use it.
You can't win
Just don't go through muddly water.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I think the lower bearing design is feeble, as others have said just general wear can kill them. I hadn't used mine off road for a long while and they were still shot. Bumpy roads and just water and salt from the roads can dry them out.
