Grease Joints

Probably a stupid question, but are there any grease joints on this car that should be taken care of when you change your oil? Thanks.

Nope no grease fittings, just like most new cars. I had the same issue a year ago, searched for an hour and found nothing. There may be one somewhere but I didnt see anything.

No grease joints on any new cars, unless you replace the parts with new ones that have grease fittings. Whenever I replace parts I always get ones with the grease fittings so that I can actually maintain it.

My MOOG outer tie rod ends on my Escort have well over 100,000 miles on them, and they are perfectly fine. The OEM ones that you can't grease barely lasted 50,000 miles.

I coated my underparts with white grease when I had the wheels off, just not the brakes and rotors.

I figure, it can't hurt.
