How many grease fittings on a 1995 dodge Dakota?

Answer 1

It varies. For instance, my 1994 4X4 5 speed Dakota had 12 grease fittings from manufacturer, but my 2002 4X4 5 speed has none (all factory installed components are sealed). Plus retrofitted parts may or may not change that number.

Basically, you have to get underneath and look. The rear end should have none, they'll just be front end and drivetrain components. Here's where to expect to find them, if equipped:

• on each universal joint of the driveshaft (2 driveshafts on 4X4's).
• on each upper and lower balljoint.
• on each inner and outer tie rod end.
• some steering shafts might have one or two (not installed by manufacturer, but some gearheads like to add them).
• on the steering knuckle and pitman arm or idler arm, there may be one or two fittings each.

If they're not there, don't worry too much about it, it just means it's a sealed component. Just check for proper function and signs of wear, and replace as necessary, you can't lube them.
