Default grease fittings

Does anyone have a diagram or know where I can find a diagram showing all of the lubrication points on the05-08 Mustangs?

There are no user servicable grease points on the OEM S197 suspension.

yeah, when the originals wear out, then you can put on replacement parts that you can grease. Yet another scam by car makers.... "lets make it where the owner cant do preventative care on the car, so we can sell them a replacement part.

Isn't anything new. The first generation Mustangs came with no grease fittings on the upper control arms in front. They'd start squealing over every bump after a few years...

WRONG! Back in the old days a car needed a grease job EVERY 1000 miles, hadmany dozens of fittings, was labor intensiveand theparts still wore out fast. Grease fittings are notvery waterproof and sealing the suspension partswithmodern grease makes them last much longer. Can you see modern drivers getting a grease job every 1000 miles. No way!
