Grease Zerks (Again)

[Wxman]

Hi all

Checking things out on the '21 Sierra 2500.  I have read on this forum to expect 9 grease zerks.  I am only finding 7.  Excuse my descriptions, but: tie rod ends (2), streering joint just behind top of front tires (2), steering arm next to motor (1), steering arm on passenger side (2).

 

What /  where am I missing?

Doesn't look like they were touched during my 'courtesy' oil change and rotation.

Thanks

Sorry all.  Found the last two.  When I turned the wheels to the right to get better access to the zerks on top of the steering arms, the driver side lower ball joint zerk magically appeared.  Finding the one on the passenger side was easy after that. :).

 

I feel good to be in the 9 zerk club with everyone else.

 

Cheers

I need to get mine up on the 4 post rack at work and hit those as well.  I'm at 1300 miles, but don't want to let it go much longer.  Did they take a fair amount?  Did you grease until you saw old grease coming out the other side, or just quit when the resistance got high?  What grease did you use?

3 or 4 pumps each, just enough to see the boot swell a little. Probably just a couple pumps each oil change from now on.  I use Lucas Red & Tacky #2, same as boat and RV trailer bearings.
