Lubrication Points????

I have an 03' XLT.

How many lubrication points are on the truck and where are they?

I have a grease gun and i would like to make sure everything is in check, i have a suspicion that my oil change place is not doing the lube even though they say it's included.

Red face Sealed for life!!

When the ball joints and tie rod ends wear out, replace them with Moog parts, which have grease fittings.

Right. There are no grease fittings on it from the factory.
If you install parts with grease fittings just remember that they only last if you grease them regularly. They usually aren't sealed as well as non greaseable parts so they rely on you greasing them to force any water and dirt out.

An 03 Expedition shouldn't have any grease fittings from the factory. 2002 and earlier have 2 on the idler arm.
