I just got new front u-joints and they are greasable but I breifly looked at them and couldn't find the zerk fitting. Do I need to jack it up and turn the wheels to find it?

Mr Jerry

Just turn the truck over.

Just make sure to put a blanket down for the roof.

Put the truck in neutral and have someone roll the truck a bit to turn the joints.

Wow, y'all have been so much help...

Just jack up either front wheel.

See if there is a plug where the zerk should be. I had a shop put in a u-joint on my wife truck while I was out of state for work. They did a good job, but did not install the zerks. A couple of bucks at the auto store and a few minutes work, then your good.

In my post I told you how I do it after my humor.
It does not take much of a roll of the truck to find the zerks.

I would feel for it, if you don't feel it, its not there. It should be noticabable.

Well I looked under there real good while I greased all the greaseable parts including ball joints. I don't think the shop put greaseable u-joints like they said I can't find a zerk fitting anywhere and it shouldn't be that hard to find. But there is grease coming out of the u-joints like they've been greased. Guess I'll have to take it back and see what the crap--
