lubing points?
my dad told me I'm supposed to lube some points in the shocks? I'm really quite clueless here... does anyone know what hes talking about? and where would I lube them?

maybe his is thinking of grease fitting that older cars had......older cars had them on the ball joints and tie-rod ends. Some even went crazy and had like 20 fittings in all the steering geometry. none on the balt though.

Newer cars have grease fittings on tie rods and ball joints. At least the ones we sell at autozone do. Cant say for sure for the balt. Haven't sold any.

Replacement fittings usually have fittings. Ones that come stock don't
