Friend has a 2007 1/2 4x4 and was wondering where the
one zerk(s), or if there are more(not mentioned). Nothing
has been changed to merit new zerk ie: drive shaft.

 

Are you sure your friends 2007 1/4 4X4 is a Ford? Ford doesn't have a 2007 1/2 model of the F-150...and there are no "zerks" mentioned in the owners or service manual.

 

I'm pretty sure by 1/2, he meant half-ton

 

Oh, well now it all makes complete sense

 

1/2 f 4x4 manual mentions zerk as if there
are zerk(s) from the factory?

but he and another(both mechanical
sound) looked and could not come
up with the location?

 

OK, lets try a different angle: what went wrong or what symptoms is your friend having with his truck?

 

on on 2007 manual says zerk? where

That is just what I ask; the vehicle
runs just fine?

 

OK, so you are asking WHERE the Zerk fitting is?

 

"A grease fitting, grease nipple or zerk fitting is a lubrication fitting used in mechanical systems to add grease with a grease gun. The fitting is permanently installed by a threaded connection leaving a nipple connection the grease gun attaches to.

However, in many modern applications they are falling out of use, since it has been determined by wear analysis that each new grease injection usually contains abrasive contamination, and thus service life is reduced compared to many "sealed for life" systems."

OK, now I see what he's asking.

I don't think these trucks have grease fittings for the chassis, ball joints, etc...

 

Thanks for following up on this issue.

Yep! the manual says there is a zerk
but that is yet to be found?

 

never seen one while crawling around under my 2006 F-150...or my 2008 Expy


that section of the Owners Manual might just be a hold-over from prior years

 

Where, in your friends owners manual, does it mention a zerk fitting? What page? I have an '07 too. I would like to know.

 

Thanks I will convey the message on the
possibility of the 'holdover'
and will get back on the page #
