Default lubing fittings

Are our tie rods and ball joints not to be greased.

IIRC the factory ball joints were sealed unit and the tie rods do have a zerk (grease fitting). Although I may be off on my years.

The original ones on the car are the "sealed for life" tie-rod ends. Some after-market units are also sealed.
