Depends on how many suspension and steering components have been replaced. If the answer to that question is zero, then I'm pretty sure only the ball joints were greasable. So four grease fittings.

I am confident that all of my suspension parts are factory originals and there are 4 grease fittings, one for each ball joint. That is all.
Aftermarket tie rod ends usually have a grease fitting but not the originals. Strange but true.

That's correct for the '85 and some other years! One of those things that ain't so difficult to count and visually check when servicing.
If less than OE spec u-joints are used for service it could change the count to as high as 14,
