We just call them grease fittings...

 

Thanks for getting me to look this up.

My 2019 F-450 has 9 grease zerks.

 

Everything (almost) seems to be lubed for life now. My front axle u-joints don’t get much of a workout but l greased them anyway at 15,000. They sure are a lot easier to get to than the ones on my 04 F250 were. Each side only took a couple of pumps. The drive shaft u-joints and carrier bearing on the 04 weren’t greasable either and they lasted 14 years and 190,000 miles so I’m banking on the new ones being trouble free too.

 

I have an F 450 at work that has 9 fittings. Like Dawg said above. Is there really only 2 in the 250? Ill be disappointed to know Ill need to replace ball joints and steering linkage parts too soon with aftermarket parts having fittings. Just ordered a 250 lariat... expecting the same general front end as my 450.

 

All SRW 4x4 have just two zerk fittings. The DRW guys are special and require more lube.

 

There are quite a few on a 4x4 drw
