Hi


I have a grease gun and wanted to grease the front end, can someone be so kind to tell me how many and where I might expect to find them?


I'm not super familiar with the front end names so if you could use a bit more explanation I'd appreciate it.


My grease gun was filled by a shop specifically for front end's awhile ago.

Upper ball joints, lower ball joints at the ends of the upper and lower control arms.


Inner and outer tie rod ends, outers are attached near the where the wheels mount, then follow that same rod to where the inners are close to the frame.


Idler arm, attached to the passenger side frame rail and steering linkage (same bar the tie rod ends are attached too)


Pitman arm, attached to steering box and steering linkage

Good luck getting to the idler arm and pitman arm and even the inner tie rod ends can be a challenge at times.

Hope your grease gun has a flexible hose on it....you will need it.

Wipe off grease fitting before and after.

Again, good luck with this.
