Why they still have the LUBE part on this I will never know. The trucks after the mid 90,s only have 2 to 4 grease fittings, the older trucks had 6 to 8 grease fittings. When I replaced both of my front wheel bearing assy. on my 2001 Dodge which you could just repack or change bearings for about $20.00 on the older trucks, now you have to spend about $200.00 per side. Lifting the boots and seals on some of the front end components while I had the front apart, I found most to be dry. I drilled and tapped and put in grease fittings on most
. I find it strange that when one of these front end parts fail, the replacement will have grease fittings. The same with the universal joints on the drive shaft. Now you have Lube Oil and Filter.
