Correction, you cant lube any of them. They are sealed with no fittings, and the only way you can lube them, is if you replace them with aftermarkets ones that have fittings. I've heard the stock front end parts last about 100-150k before they need to be replaced.

That's what I thought. I know some of the larger trucks have zerks to feed them with grease, but my impression from the owner's manual was that mine did not. Wasn't positive about the u-joints however. I DO know I can grease/oil the roller thing in the door though
