I believe the idler arm is the only joint with a grease fitting.....everything else is sealed from what I have seen.

Is yours a 4x4? If so just look under the front end of the truck, you will see a crossmember and just above it is the pitman arm on the drivers side and the idler arm on the passenger..........both are connected to the steering linkage. BTW.........you will need a grease gun with a flexible rubber hose to get at the nipple.

I just replaced my pitman arm with a Moog part and now I can grease that as well.
