Grease points?

Alright well I looked in my manual and decided it was time to grease up some steering joints, when I went under there in my '05 6cyl, I found NO grease nipples. Now I know ford isn't generous enough to provide us nipple to grease ball joints and knuckles but if the manual is referring to it? Where are they? Does anyone have a diagram or anything?

There most likely are no greaseable parts on there. Ford uses the "lubed for life" parts. I would rather have zerks on my vehicles, but thats just me.
