said by shdesigns:Nowadays, nothing needs to be greased. Most fittings are lifetime greased. Gone are the days of leaky ball joints and tie-rod ends that always needed grease.
Back when I had my 02 Sierra 1500, I think there were 13 different grease fittings for various steering and suspension components. I can't speak specifically for the Ranger, but at least some vehicles of that vintage need the occasional squirt of grease.
