Default Greasing under the car?

Do any of yall grease or lube the car under like all the suspension stuff and joints, I notice that nobody talks about it.

Every 3-4 thousand miles when oil is changed....everyone should at least check at that interval......although I have all aftermarket greasable suspension parts.

If you car has stock suspension, it isn't servicable. Stock tie rods, ball joints, and u joints are all sealed. If you go with aftermarket parts, you will usually get greasable bushings

Grease mine about 2X a year. Only 1 or 2 pumps of the grease gun.

I grease mine once a year, one pump for each fitting. I dont put many miles on my car per year. And he is right, if you have all stock stuff, there's nothing to grease.
