If any, they would be on the rear. I have them on my 2007 due to the z51 package.

Yes, there are grease fittings on the rear tie rod ends. Owner's manual says they should be serviced at the end of each track day and as part of normal maintenance. Seems like greasing them has increased their service life on tracked vehicles. I know my tie rod replacement rate dropped after moving from a C5 to the 08Z.
