Hello everyone,
After searching and watching a few YouTube videos, I figured I was ready to grease my truck. Ironically, every search brought me back to this site. I kept ignoring it and crawled under my truck. It's not jacked up...I'm doing this solo and figured I could shimmy around under it. It's a little tight..but hey. My oldest son, via the telephone, informed me I probably wouldn't have grease fittings, I would need a needle fitting. Armed with the grease gun and needle fitting, I crawl under, I HAVE FITTINGS! Tried to take the needle fitting off and I've left a trail of blood from the driveway to the bathroom. Managed to grease the lower ball joint before I bled out. Lol. I'm wondering if there is a diagram, something, that shows where all the grease fittings SHOULD be? Thanks.
 






The newer the vehicle, the less grease points the factory used.

From what I've been reading, if you had grease fittings on your ball joints they must have been replaced at some point. I would check your tie rod ends to see if those may have fittings.
