Default 05 Sportsman 500 Grease Fittings

Owners manual and service manual for an 05 Sportsman 500 call for only greasing the front ball joints and the drive shaft yoke. What about the other grease fittings on the "A" arms on front and back?????? Should other fittings be greased?????? Been using Mobil 1 Synthetic grease on the ball joints and yoke.

I believe that grease works well in both those applications (suspension & driveshaft)-correct me if wrong. Grease em all! My old 99 had zerks on every suspension bushing. Wish the new ones did. Replaced a bushing on my 04, really noticed the wear.
