Chassis lube question
Just got a 98 Silverado, and am going through a whole checklist of maintenance chores.
To do the chassis greasing, I removed all the zerk fittings, cleaned them out with Brakeclean, and then re-installed them and greased the joints. I thought there would be 11 fittings, but can only find 10. One on each upper and lower ball joint, two on each steering tie rod, one on the end of the pitman arm, and one on the end of the idler arm. I thought for sure there would be one at the top or side of the idler arm to grease the bearing in there, but could not find one, or a hole anywhere.
does anyone know whether there should be one? If it helps, it's a C1500, and like I said, a 1998.
