Default grease fittings on suspension

I have an 89 300SE and I was wondering if there are any lubricating points on the suspension and steering components on this car? I don't see any of the familiar type fittings.

no.

they want the parts wear out naturally so they can sell more to you.

Hi Buck, Sleepwalker hit the head of the old nail again. I have used a very small grease needle, to apply grease to the rubber boot on ball joints. This new grease will push out the old with, water at times. (very little but its there). Ball joints really dry out in the heat. good luck [:@]

nice idea.

a syringe with big needle is ideal i guess. i never done it before. any tricks could do.
