How Many Zerk Fittings
 
I count 6 grease fittings on the front end of my truck. I don't want to miss any. Can anyone verify this number?

That could be the difference in your 99 and my 02. I wish mine had more grease points than less. I would like to be sure that I am not missing any. I have look several times and six is all I have come up with.

i know mine doesn't have very many.

tie rods = 2
ball joints = 4
pitt arm = 1
front shaft = 1 rear shaft is one piece on my truck now
u joints = 4 or 6
centerlink = 1
not sure if I listed them all or not, or if the terminology is correct or not

** Your count may and can vary.

That would be fantastic! Does anyone know if there is a model specific pic or diagram showing the number and location?

The ball joint and u joint zerks are all after market, if you get the ones that have them anyway.

empiretc 01-05-2009 08:23 PM

yeah, the u-joints i took out didn't have any. I made sure to get replacements that did.

I am pretty sure the ball joints on my trucks are the originals, and they do not have any either.
