Grease points

Can anyone tell me where the grease points are on my truck? I was under there yesterday and only found 3. The 2 upper ball joints(1 on each side) and 1 on a steering arm on the drivers side. Any help would be great.

Unless you've had the need to change any of the U-Joints the factory ones do not have any fittings. Just replaced the rear on my '01 (@78K) and the new one (not from the dealer) actually has one. One of these weekends when my honeydo list is a lot shorter I'll get around to replacing the other two on the rear shaft.

CJ no problem, there's so many rods running back and forth across there it's hard to tell what goes to what. One thing for sure there is precious little to grease. I'd like more, I think they'd last longer.

When i had to replace all the steering linkages on my 01 at 60k miles i put grease fittings in all of them. I now have 200k miles and they are all still in good shape.

They are cheap to begin with and not having any fittings even makes its worse.
