Default Rear Toe Link C6 with Z51

I brought my 2006 C6 with Z51, in for its first service since I purchased it in 2007.

The operators manual page 343 (European spec car) states to grease the "rear toe link" on Z51 equipped cars.

The Corvette mechanic in Athens, stated that there were no fittings to grease at the aft end of the chassis. I tried to find grease fittings
without success.

Who is right, the operators manual or the mechanic. If the manual is correct, what is the rear toe link, how do I identify it?

Thanks

The grease fittings are at the rear end of the car on either side near the wheels

They're on my '06. If they get a little over zealous with the lube you'll have grease all over the inside of your wheels for a long time........

Default Also on 2007, 2008, 2009 F55

In 2007 on the magnetic selective ride, F55, the Z51 brakes were added and the grease fittings were added on the rear toe-link.
