Default Maintenance Chassis Lube

My car just hit 15k and I changed the engine oil, fuel filter, and cabin air filter. I still need to rotate the wheels/tires and "inspect and grease suspension components" or something. Does anyone know what I need to grease suspension wise? Should I just let the dealer rotate my wheels/tires and tell them to lube everything, or are they just going to look at it and not do anything and charge me for it? I wasn't too worried about this till another member posted up his failed ball joints.

I was told we don't need to lube the chassis on our cars.

seeing as the fittings are all sealed you cant lube the chassie, also only rotate your tires half way through life, which i believe stock rubbers good for 40k, so do them at 20k and thats it

There are no factory grease fittings to lube.

My muffler bearings are fine. I had them checked the same time I had my crankshaft alignment and tread pattern adjustment done.

Haha sorry for being dumb. I just got a new phb with grease fittings and never really looked for the fittings before that to see if we had them on stock parts. I guess I'm good to go!

Not dumb. I'm sure it was good information for quite a few here. I wasn't sure myself.
