How many Grease Fittings?

[178kchevy]

Anyone know how many grease fittings to grease on the front suspension of a 95 Silverado K1500? I can only find 6, but I was thinking there were more? Someone with knowledge of this please let me know!

Your welcome. I take it you have a 2wd and can stop looking?

[178kchevy]

No, actually, I have 4wd and am going to keep looking for the 5 I have not yet found.

Good luck. I know on mine I have 2 that are facing straight up and hard to get to.

I have a 4X4 and can only find 6 (3 at ech wheel). The dealer told me that was all I have.

Interesting, I'll see if I can confirm this and get back to you!

4 on ball joints
2 outer tie rod ends
2 inner tie rod ends
2 idler arm
1 pitman arm

the idler arm is one of the hardest to get to if you have the skid plate
if you do
unbolt the front skid plate(one that angles up toward the radiator)
idler arm is on the right side (left as you face it from the front)
the grease fitting is located about in the middle of the idler arm (upper portion)

if you go to a local auto parts store and get the slide on fitting for the grease gun it works great for those hard to reach places
