front end grease fittings-how many?

[pantera928]

I was greasing the front end on my 1980 and found 16 fittings. Are there more?

2 on each upper A-arm

2 on each lower A-arm

1 on each  king pin

a total of 4 on the steering link arms

2 more on the linkage at the front frame member

Am I missing any?

Is there a way to grease the front pivot on the frame? I see no fitting there.

 

Thanks

The grease fitting for the front pivot is accessible from the back side of the cross member.  There is a hole there and the fitting is inside the hole.

I checked there I believe but will check again. THanks

Often, the zerk is broken off when pivot is removed without removing the zerk first.

Good to know. I will check for that. I do not believe this pivot has ever been removed as the car only has 26K miles. Thanks

The Steering Bellcrank Bearing is supposed to have a long series grease nipple in the rear facing side- if it's busted no good or not there see if you can get an 90 deg angled one. Might make greasing from above or below easier, perhaps.

If you have power steering one each on the control valve and the cylinder

Found it. Can't believe i missed it earlier.

THanks to all. Total of 17 fittings unless someone knows of more
