Nipples

Postby oompalompa » Sat Jul 17, 2010 12:14 pm

Have been underneath my 95 bighorn with the grease gun. I have found 4-5 grease nipples on the front and rear prop shafts and universals. Are there any other grease nipples on these trucks or any places that could benifit with a good dob of grease.

Thanks

The top and bottom ball joints would of had nipples but most after market replacements dont. Tie rods factory didnt but after market sometimes do. Have a good look If you find one fill it If you dont dont

directly oposite the steering box. On lhd wagons they swap the idler and steering box.
