Why is there no lower ball joint grease fitting on a 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ?

They are a sealed unit. The lower ball joints are lubricated for the life of the vehicle and have no grease fitting due to space constraints.

Can the lower ball joint on a 94 jeep wrangler be greased if so where is the nipple?
If you don't see a grease fitting then it is sealed for life and cannot be greased. My answer applies to my cars, a 1989 Honda Civic, and a 1997 Toyota Camry, but your car might be similar. On my cars, I have to remove the ball joints, then pull down the boot along the tapering ball joint bolt (to provide an opening), then (carefully!) insert a thin greasing tube inside the boot and give it a shot of grease. You can get the greasing tube from auto supply shops (Pep Boys, etc.). It's a thin tube (about 1/8" to 1/16" diameter), and fits a standard grease gun.

The temperature that grease freezes at depends on the density and composition. The more that is in the grease and the thicker it is the lower the freezing point.
How do you grease the automatic transmission in my mtd riding mower?
If you have taken apart the transmatic transaxle, add 10 oz of automotive type grease to all the gears, shafts and so on. If you have not taken it apart, there are two holes on edges of the axles, on the lower back side of each end where a special fitting fit and grease can be pumped in. This tool is not available for purchase, your MTD technician probably has it.

I have the same problem and the consensus is that it is the lower ball joints. Try to get grease into the lower ball joint (with a pointed applicator) or replace them.
