greasing points

[royzels]

Hello to you all..................Can anyone tell if there are any greasing points under my Lexus LS400 1995 Mark 3............. Thank you.

Certainly none of the old skool “Grease Nipples” we used to have on older cars, the only grease I use are on the braking components, slider pins, pad backing plates, parking brake back plate contact points and levers.

Bearings are all sealed for life types so no grease there, subframes and suspension components are all rubber  bushed so none there.

The only other places where I use white grease sparingly are door hinges, bonnet latch and boot latch.

Anyone want to buy a grease gun?

There are no grease nipples on the LS400 period.

Parts now often use sealed bearings that are deemed replaceable rather than serviceable these days.

However I was very surprised when I replaced my rear toe rods the ball joints had grease nipples on 'em

These were sourced from Rockauto so maybe many parts stateside still come with old skool grease nipples?

Thank you everyone............ Bye

I've noticed this at Rockauto, some parts have the option of being supplied with grease nipples
