Maybe this is old hat, but I did a pretty deep search and could not find this.
If you can get the car off the ground (I used jack stands), you can grease the U-joint at the front of the drive shaft.
Ramps (front or back) won't work because it's right in the middle of the car (ask me how I know!)
Put the car in neutral so you can turn the driveshaft while under the car.
Turn the shaft until you can see the zerk.
Sneak the end of the grease gun through the narrow passage.....
That one and the upper rear passenger control arm fitting give me the most trouble!
That top upper rear "A" arm zerk can be impossible if someone replaced the 90 degree zerk with a straight zerk. Triedeto do it at Tom P's house 2 weeks ago and we got them all, but that one. Bought the 90 degree slide on grease fitting (link below) and it became a 30 second job. Good and bad reviews online, but I don't think the bad reviewers had this attachment all the way on the zerk (it snaps on like always) and caused them the issues they reported. I'm very happy with it. The tool has a zerk fitting inside the collar, that snaps on to the end of your normal grease gun fitting, so it couldn't be simpler. In my need, it was absolutely the right tool for the job.
