Default Grease Zerks

This my sound like a really dumb question, but I'm used to greasing the front suspension of all my past Firebirds. But last week was the first time I changed oil and expecting to grease the front suspension and running gear and low-and-behold I could not find any grease zerks.
So is there any grease zerks on a 2002 Firebird?



I hope this question does not affect my membership on this site.

I've never heard of a grease zerk, but the tie rod end I got to replace the original had a grease fitting. the original did not. so far as I can tell, none of the other pivots had grease fittings.

I dont think there are any on the factory parts. But you can get a needle fitting to put grease in the sealed units.

most of your aftermarket parts will have some but the stock stuff is so thin and weak that this seem to have not come about
