I am doing my latest oil change on my '06 GT at 15,000 miles and the manual states that I should grease the zerks (if so equipped). Of course, the manual really doesn't definitively say if there are, or there aren't, any zerks. I recall checking my front suspension and steering and seeing no zerks while doing a previous oil change. So, here's my question... Does anyone know for sure if there are zerks for the front suspension and/or steering, as well as other places, such as the two-piece driveshaft? Thanks!

None that I know of. All the suspension uses rubber bushings so no grease. There is no maintenance to do on the driveshaft.

Thanks Moosestang for the info! Can anybody confirm for sure if there are any on the front suspension/steering mechanisms?

Conformation on there being NONE.
The shop manual for the 07 shows
NO zerks nor mentions geasing anything
that has a zerk fitting. ZERO, NONE.
Thanks again, FORD.
I also like my underdash water dispenser.

Not to mention, thanks for the automatic transmission with no dipstick.

Seems Ford likes to cut corners on some things. Most aftermarket suspension components will have them so I guess I can use mine when they are installed!

You will find that most if not all late model vehicles, except HD apps, have no grease fittings. The oe suspension components are factory sealed with very tight tolerances and with not only grease inside, but teflon bushings and spring steel as well. This is not a form of being cheap, but being better designed. My 99 still has all the suspension components stock and still as tight as the day they were new after 145k very hard miles, Ido tend to beat on my cars a bit,incudingseveral in NewHampshire with their re-paved cowpaths. The after market components (stock style) are actually made cheaper than oe and usually in china these days.

The no dipstick thing does annoy the **** out of me though...
