Default Grease fittings
Is there a good list of all the grease fittings and lube points?

Are there any grease fittings anymore? I know the previous generation trucks had none. So I just assumed there were none on these. In the maintenance I've done I haven't seen any.

Unless you step up to a F550 or bigger, there are no grease fittings to lube for OEM ball joints, tie rod ends, U-joints...etc.

my research shows there are 0 fittings on the f150


My last truck a 2007 GMC had 2 and it was claimed they were on the way out.


So unless you had parts replaced with greasable parts you have none

Vehicles haven't had grease fittings for ages.

Thanks. Manual states lube and makes a note for 4wd front axle under maintenance, but I couldn't find any.

Agree with Tanked Darren; my 99 didn't come with grease fittings, but the replacement upper A-arms/lower ball joints did. Can always tell a 10th gen F150 with failing ball joints, the squawk is distinctive.

Absolutely not true. The f-250 and higher have grease fittings on 4WD front axle. I have a 2011 and have greased them regularly.

You don't maintain anything anymore. You just drive it until it grenades and then replace it. It's called "Planned Obsolescence".
