Lubing the C4-Where?
So I'm looking at the front underside of my 91 because it's easy now with the new lift and I notice lube fittings at the tie rod ends, etc. Good grief, how could I have forgotten to lube during the last oil change. I didn't know you still had too. Anyway, where are all the lube fittings and how many are there on this 91? I've found only four.......Thanks, Frank

I think there are 2 up front and 4 in the back just look for the greese fittings where the tierods are, also you might want to lube up the u joints as well. Oh yeh its realy easy to get to the front fittings by simply poping the hood, i found this out after an hour of trying to reach the fittings. :mad
good luck :cheers:

On a 91 you should have 6 up front 3 each side, Upper & Lower Ball joints and Tie rod ends none in the rear, if some one has changed your u-joints you could have them also.
94 only has upper & lower ball joints..

My '91 tie rod ends do not have grease fittings :confused:
I only found fittings on the ball joints and u-joints. I don't think GM u-joints have fittings though. I have changed them already twice because I didn't relube the first ones during 37K miles and surprice! they went bad. :rolleyes: Learned from that ;)
