How many grease fittings should I expect to find on a 4x4 Screw?

Screw,
I'ts called the Pitman Arm. The Pitman Arm connects to the steering link or drag link and the other end of the drag link connects to the Idler Arm. From each end of the drag link, each wheel gets a connection called a tie rod. Each tie rod has a link and two tie rod ends. All those components pretty much make up a steering system linkage.
In the past, each connection point where you can have movement, there was a grease fitting to add grease. Today, lots of steering linkage components are greased for life and don't have fittings. Sometimes when you purchase after market replacements, they will be equipped with grease fittngs.
Hope this helps,
