from the factory none, but if you replaced the ball joints with greaseable ones, the bottom joint points down and the upper has a plug that needs to be removed ehd a 90 degree installed greased and then removed and the plug reinstalled

And if you've replaced any of the steering linkage or u-joints, you may have some there. My front end has 4 for the ball joints (2 of them have the caps like SuperDutyScaler mentioned) and 4 for the steering linkage. The rear drive shaft on a CC has 3 u-joints.

I never noticed those on my 01. Wonder when they started doing that.

I don't know if all years have them. But they are easy to miss, and usually covered in grime until you dig around on the spider.

It depends on the year. My truck has stock steering components with grease fittings on each tie rod end and both ends of the drag link. And the ones on the front axle U-joints.
