Grease fittings

I hate to sound ignorant but I was trying to locate the grease fittings on my car and they didn't seem to be in the usual places. I am old school when it comes to F-bodies, I had a 67 400 Firebird in the 70's and a 77 Z28 in the late 70's & early 80's. At 45 I just got back into the game so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, T.V.

Lightbulb They ain't there - "Lubed for life" .

That's the theory, anyway.


Just like the wheel bearings - there are not the old style w/ 2 independent bearings w/ a grease seal - instead, they are a sealed bearing.

I believe the u-joints are the same way as well.

I'm like you - I jumped from a 2nd gen to a 4th gen.

Quite a "culture shock" !


But, the SS has more power & gets better mileage than the '79 T/A ever thought of, so it's not all bad.

No kidding, if my old F-bodies would have run as good as my new one stock, I would would have saved a s--tload of money and probably dated more as a teenager!
