This should be a very simple solution but I have looked multiple times for the grease fittings without finding all of them.

Haynes Fiero Manual shows 6 grease fittings on diagram 18.6. I have been able to locate only 2. Can someone post a photo of the fittings marked with a circle or arrow.

Thanks for you assistance.

Your 1st problem is Haynes crap books. Worse when use a PDF copy of very old version of Fiero book. All Haynes versions for all vehicles have big problems. Chilton isn't much better.

Even in the '70's Many OE and Aftermarket Rod ends and BJ don't have grease fittings. Don't even have plugged holes to install them.

In Fiero Front... At Best you have 1 for each BJ and Rod end total 6. 4 for rear.
Many replace 1 or more joints that don't have them.
Moog and some replacements have grease fittings and easy to find them.

Some replacement ball joints do not have grease fittings....You should have grease fittings on the Tie-rod ends at the spindles, and grease fittings on the top of each upper ball joint and on the bottom of each lower ball joint. Here is a quick pic of the locations.

Cvxjet,

Thanks for the picture. It was exactly what I needed. I have found all of the grease fittings in your picture.

Hint: I had to remove the wheel to reach them.

Thanks again.
