grease fittings?
Anyone know where all of the grease (zerk) fittings are on a stock C4 (1996)? The only ones I have found so far are the upper and lower ball joints in the front. I was going to do the rears and found that they are the sealed type. Didn't see any others but I have been known to be blind sometimes.

IIRC my 86 has 4, the front ball-joints. Here's a little tip that may help someone. I picked up a 90 degree 1/4" (I think) pipe fitting along with a flex hose for the grease gun, put the elbow between the hose and the coupler if needed. Lets you work in and around things you might not otherwise have an easy angle to get to. Only costs a couple of $$ and can save alot of frustration at times.

If the outer front tie rod ends have been replaced, the chances are that the new units will have grease fittings. I had MOOG tie rod ends installed on my '87 when I upgraded to a Z51 rack.
The '87 rear toe links had grease fittings from the factory. But it seems like most all newer cars don't have any grease fittings on suspension/steering components anymore.
