Suspension Lube points

Do we have to hit our suspension with a grease gun? If so does anyone have pics of where the little nipple is for the grease gun.
Thanks

Only One Zerk...

'Life:

I have only found one Zerk fitting (grease nipple) on the truck. It's on the steering idler arm pivot. You can't miss it - crawl under the beast, find the big rusty steering box, and follow the arm toward the passenger's side. The big rusty idler arm pivot has a Zerk sticking out.

The only other thing you need to lube under there are the steering stops. Look left and right while you're under there. If you have long arms, you can lube them with your finger without even moving.

Oh Boy - I'm going by memory of my last oil change which is dangerous - but I thought both ends of the idler arm had grease fittings??

2 zerks on the idler arm. I guess Ford saved 35 cents on the rest of them.
