Steering linkage lube

Recently purchased a '00 F-150 Lariat 4x4 with 35,000 miles.
Getting caught up on scheduled maintenance items and found a requirement in the "maintenance guide" for "Inspect and Lubricate steering linkage" every 15,000 miles.
Crawled underneath and could only find one zerk fitting on the steering linkage. All others appear sealed/lubed for life.
Is this it, or am I missing any.

Thanks for any help.

If it is the same as the 97, you are correct. The only component underneath the truck requiring lubrication is the idler arm. Although many of us have had problems with the pitman arm being squeaky.
