Where are the Grease points??
I have new HD ujoints with grease nipples, and the tie rods have nipples on them. The king pins do not.
What all needs to be greased? i'm not sure on this truck.
thanks

thats all you have to grease. but why dont you have to grease the king pins? when i had my king pins done, the caps on the top and bottom of the king pin had holes drilled and tapped for a grease zerk.

the king pins last much longer when they have grease in them. at 20 years and 130k miles mine needed to be replaced. found out that on one side the bearing had disintegrated and the other side you couldnt move it with a sledge hammer 1/16"

It would be very helpful to get some grease on the king pins. Most I have seen had zerks for them. I have had to try and get some out that had not been greased and that is not a fun job to say the least.
