Going to be going under the Path soon to change oil and rear diff fluid, wondering if there are any grease fittings that I could grease up while I am under it.
I have no idea why I have never looked into this before. I have replaced my u-joints a while ago but the type I used did not come with fittings.
So... anybody know of any?
Any grease fittings on any of the suspension?

i've not noticed it (where the heck is it?).........staynlean wrote:Incorrect sir, there is one.eieio wrote:none.
is it an actual grease fitting, or a hole to let moisture escape?
if it's a hole to let moisture escape, it might not do it's job if clogged with grease!
usually the service manual will indicate a lubrication point and specify what kind of grease to use in it, but i can't find any reference to it in the service manual at all.
GETTING COLD HERE IN PRESCOTT!
Well it is a dry cold... as if that is supposed to make it better!
One can always put more layers on. But if its too hot, you can only take so much off.
You learn to deal with it. I've been here my whole life, it is what it is. Someday I may relocate, but there are many good things about living here too.

The only grease nipples on my truck are on components I've replaced. For instance, on the u-joint there is now a serviceable u-joint, but from the factory it was definitely NOT serviceable.
This is common on all vehicles. Lots of debate as to whether its better to have a well sealed component or a grease zerk.
