    Are there any grease nipples on the D3

    Gday All,


    Been trying to see if I am missing any greasing points on my D3, but I cant seem to find any grease nipples anywhere. Cant see any on the prop shafts or underneath at all.


    Am I not looking hard enough?


    Cheers Ean

    Can't give you a definitive answer, but 'sealed for life' components are the norm with newer vehicles

    Gday Ben,


    Yeh that's what I assumed, but thought atleast the prop shafts or similar may have a grease point.

    All the balljoints are 'encapsulated'. Pretty much nylon or somesuch enclosed with a lubricant . It also means that any play/movement is too much. The joints do not have a play or tolerance allowance like the old balljoints with grease nipples.
