Default Grease fittings

I am about to do my first oil change on my 07 Z51 since I bought it last fall. My question for you all is, are there grease fitting that I could get to so I can pump in grease? I know on my older cars they had them, but have no idea if they even exist on my Corvette.
Thanks

There are no grease fittings on C6 Corvettes. If there were, they would be shown in the maintenance section of the owner's manual.

The Z51 has two zerks - one at the end of each rear toe link. By way of how things have changed, my '90 454SS truck has eleven zerk grease fittings! All GM vehicles had a lot of them, "back in the day".

The Z51 option has grease fittings on the rear ball joints only....one on each side.....presuming you have a true Z51. Check the build label in the glove box to confirm.
