There seems to be some inconsistency on these grease fittings, my 03 700 doesn't have grease fittings on any of the u-joints on the front axles or prop shafts. The only ones on it are on the bottom of the strut housings for the ball joints. Some of the eariler build dates I saw in the showroom had the fittings on the u-joints, my build date was Nov. 2002.
