2003 F-150 Chilton Manual ,says either certs or plugs to grease front ball-joints. Looks like mine has neither. Is this a problem?

They are called "grease zerks" FYI

Sorry I can't help you otherwise...

 

They quit putting grease zerks on a lot of places on trucks. Make sure to look really well at all the rest of the joints to find out which ones have them and which ones dont.....
What i do to grease my joints that dont have zerks is to use a needle greaser.....the best place to pick up a quality needle greaser is at NAPA. i think they are like 6 bucks. Anyway it is what it says...a needle...push it through the boot and pump some grease in there......for best results fill it with grease then jack up your front end to get a full extension of the joint...this will allow more grease to make more contact in the joint.....
