As Mei says, the trailing arm shafts shouldn't be pressed in flush but rather recessed by 2-3mm - this is what the foam ARB seal sits in. If you press the arms in flush, the ARB end plate ends up sitting proud of the arm and may foul the tyre.
The arms are effectively held in place by the torsion bars, the M8 fixings on either end when unloaded and the weight on the splines when loaded.
Grease nipples don't solve the underlying issues, merely prolong the time between water ingress and complete failure. You're better off stripping the beam every few years for a re-grease and seal replacement IMO.
