I was changing the oil today in my truck, when I decided it was time for a chassis lube.

I could only find 2 zerks though, both at the front of the truck on the passengers side. I looked everywhere but it seems that most places that I would think needed grease all had rubber bushings instead of grease zerks.

There has got to be more than 2 spots to grease these things.

any help would be appreciated.

its a 02 F 150 supercrew if that helps anyone.

 

Welcome ! You're correct, there are only the 2 zerk fittings on the idler arm. You can buy a injection needle grease gun fitting and lube the rest by carefully piercing the boots.

 

NAPA part number 700-1193
For $6 you get two injector needles.

 

how hard of job is that to do. I don't want to ruin anything. If I took it to a dealership for a chassis lube, what would they do. Just the two zerks or would they puncture the boots like you say.

where are all the boots that need punctured??
I'm fairly certain I can handle this, just want to be sure.

thanks again

 

if you do inject the other bushings with the needle be very carefull it is very easy to tear them after the needle has been inserted, i tore one of mine and it pissed me off, just be carefull once the needle is in
