Help me out here.......I can only find one fitting on my truck......is this really possible, and if so, why did they bother with the one?

 

they figured that the one with the grease fitting goes through the most service. i hear that you can take a large seringe and inject grease into the boot and then follow up with a dab of super glue to seal the hole....thanks bill(ford)

 

my 2001 has 2 fittings on it one is above the other.

 

I got 2 on my as well.

 

Where are these fittings on a SCrew? Are you guys talking about ujoints or what?

 

I do believe this is still called an idlerarm. OR at least that is what I think it is called.

I ran out to the garage, and took a snap of it.

The picture was taken upside down, and they are on the passenger side of the front end.

The fittings are the black caps, I put grease fitting caps on them, so I don't have to mess around cleaning off the ball before I hit it with the grease gun. Just so when you look at them, it is a black cap, with a tab on it. Should be clear enough to see them.
In the pic one is on the left hand side of the pic, pointing down ( would be pointing up on the truck ), and the other is on the right hand side of the pic, pointing to the left ( pointing to the rear of the truck. You can see this in relation to the front antisway bar.

BTW I saw no fittings on the rear u-joint, I was just under theere this weekend putting on my Bilstein shocks.

All the abov eis for a 4x2........maybe I should have said that in the post above, and asked more when I first replied. Could be different on a 4x4

 

Thanks Scully,
Does anyone know if it is different on a 4x4?

 

I just bought my truck recently and I was looking at past oil change receipts from previous owner and it stated 2 zerk fittings. I have not looked into it myself.

 

Yea, you grease that one fitting and it lubes the entire truck.HeHe!!
