Well, to be honest, you reminded me I forgot my rear U joint. On each side,
I have 5 zerks. The rebuilt units (thank you Ed) had zerks on both sides of
the fulcrum pin. There is NO WAY that they will go dry, if tended to on a
regular schedule. I have the upper and lower kingpin zerk, and the tie rod
end zerk. Then I got to the back of the car, and greased the E brake cable,
and the zerk on top of the E brake rod pivot.
