Chassis Lubrication
Seems most vehicles are being produced with no zerk fittings. Manufactures claim new materials they're using will last almost the life of the vehicle. Yeah, I've heard the before!
Sometimes, they will put plugs in where fittings should be. These plugs can be removed and zerks installed. My '89 Mustang was like that. My '94 van has just 4 fittings on the steering linkage, none on the ball joints or u-joints.
'Bout the only thing you can do, is replace with greasable parts at replacement time.
