Just wondering if there are any grease nipples under my 2002 sport trac, i changed the oil the other day and could not find any, are they all sealed brearings?? just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

wheel bearings, ball joints and tie rod ends are all "sealed" there might be one on the idler arm bracket bushing ( has one on the F150).

Grease Needle

I Picked Up A Grease Needle That Fits Into The End Of The Grease Gun. This Way I Know Everyithing Has Nice Fresh Grease Extending The Life Of The Parts. Does It Really Save That Much $$$$ Not To Put A Zerk Fitting On The Major Front End Parts???? I Know A Guy On His E350 From The Factory Had Tiny Bolts In The Tie Rods And Ball Joints Were The Zerks Should Be. We Took Out The Bolts And Put The Zerks In.

Sorry should have called it a zerk fitting! LOL, good to know, but I would think it would be better if they did have a zerk in them.

Thanks for the replies,

Joe
