Default chassis lubrication

OK all- since I've started doing my own oil changes, instead of going to quicky lube, I haven't lubed the chassis yet. I bought a grease gun and some all-purpose grease, but the Haynes manual is pretty vague on what and how to do this. Any suggestions? I'd appreciate it! Thanks

Anything with a grease zerk on it. Upper/Lower ball joints. Inner/Outer tie rod ends, pitman arm & idler arm about cover it.

If memory serves, I believe there are about 12 lube points on the front end. Heck, if it looks like a zerk, I squirt it.

Thanks for the help---Hey Kyle--with these-Upper/Lower ball joints. Inner/Outer tie rod ends, pitman arm & idler arm about cover it.
How do I grese those? Just squirt around or on w/ the gun?

You will find grease zerks (fittings) that the grease gun tip will go over.
