Ideally you need to renew the PAS fluid from time to time as well but UJs don't go stiff, no matter what the weather, they go loose with wear.

Sorry Dave: lower u-joints at the Volvo 200/700 and 900 series are prone to go stiff.
I lube them regularly from outside. If they are removed I cook them in semifluid grease for steering boxes. Neverever a problem at my cars. Sometimes they are dead by corrosion.
Have a nice day, Kay
