What grease zerks?

I just changed my oil tonight and as I was writing it down in the book I noticed you are supposed to grease all the fittings. (15000 mile service)

I looked around and unlike my 99 I could see no fittings on the steering linkage. The only grease fittings I found were on the front axle steering knuckle u joints.

Are there any more?

My 99 has fittings on the steering. And the new ball joints have zerks on the upper only, go figure.
Wipe them with a rag, maybe they are covered with grease.

My '04 has them on the steering linkages and the front axel U-joints. As I understand it, sometime in 05-06 they stopped putting them on the steering linkages.

You have zerks on the front axle u-joints? Wow, I think someone's already changed them.

Unless that's something new - I don't have 'em...

I bought it used about 6 months ago. It had 26k on it then. I'd be surprised if the front axle U-joints had been changed. And part of the maintenance schedule is to grease them.

Note that I'm talking about the front axle U-joints. Not the front driveline joints.
