Is there a Grease Zerk on a 5th Gen Camaro?

I know I could probably look in the manual but are there ANY grease zerks/points to be found on our cars?

I was all over mine when it was on a lift, unless I missed something there are none to be found.

I was pretty sure that was the case. “Lubed for Life” is the modern way. (your mileage may vary)

"Lubed for Life"--the life of the joint, which is--unfortunately--foreshortened since it lacks proper lubrication!

Didn’t see one on adding grease inserts. ADD. My 98 Chevy truck was that way.

No Zerk fittings, and if there are, then an aftermarket part was installed. My Mevotech
LCAs have them.

You can add a zerk fitting to any part that is not solid. All it takes is the zerk, small drill bit and a tap. Then lube away

Didn’t have to do that to the truck. The holes were there they just had bolts in them. I thought how much more could an insert cost than a bolt?
