Hi everyone,
Just wondering while I have to grease the prop shaft's slip joint: Are there any more grease nipples on the vehicle?

Ciao, Kai

No grease nipples.
Ford saved money not installing them.
Ford made more money selling bits that used to have grease nipples
which wore out prematurely.

That's quite an effort but, on the other side, a lot less than changing those joints, given one could extend their life significantly. Changed those joints about a year ago, but will consider it next time.
I struggle to see how you achieve that on the tie rod ends, as you can't take them apart, can you?
