Are there any grease fittings on My car?
I cant find anywhere to grease my car... It looks like there is a fitting on top of the brake caliper, but it is too big for my grease gun, so i guess it isnt one.
the boots that i thought were supposed to hold grease look empty.
i looked in the manual and it says to take it to the dealership, but i;d like to avoid that.
thanks for the help.

No grease fittings at all. The ones on your caliper are the bleeding screws to bleed brakes. Do not put grease in there! On my 98 the only bushing that I have ever had to grease was the torque arm bushing, but that may be cause I replaced it with a polyurethane bushing.

I believe from the factory all the grease ports are capped off. You can replace the caps with the correct grease fittings from a parts store. I know the locations are listed in my haynes manual (thats about all the damn thing is worth) .

Yeah there are no grease fittings on our cars. Its what they called sealed fittings, I guess that means they never need grease if they are sealed for good. If the componenets do fail replace them all with BMR components ahaha. Good Luck guys
