Is there supposed to be a grease fitting on the rear lowers? Found the uppers, but not lowers.
IF I'M WRONG someone will chime in for sure, BUT all the ball joints have a grease fitting. I would look again if I was you! I think someone didn't screw the zerk in or it "fell out". My trucks all have zerks on ALL the ball joints.

The older lower ball joints did not have it. I also have one that doesn't have. If the weather is better, I will replace it next week.

I just greased everything, including the lower ball joints, in my M1123.
Can't vouch for older trucks though.

I have a 1987 and some of the ball joints have zerks and some do not. So far I haven't had any problems. At some point in the future I will replace them all, but not today and tomorrow's not looking good either.
