Zerk locations / Chassis Lube points / how many are there?

Hi all,

I need to lube up our 05 G35 and wanted to know how many zerk fittings you have found and where they are located?

As far as I know I haven't seen any zerk fittings on the G. Everything (door hinges and stuff like that) can probably be lubed with a little spray-on white lithium grease or something.

Yeah, there are no zerk fittings. I have found a few replacement parts that include zerk fittings tho (which I REALLY appreciate).

Kinetix upper control arms have zerk fittings, Moog end links have zerk fittings, and mevotech steering knuckle ball joints have zerk fittings.

Thanks guys, as I started pulling things apart I soon realized there must not be any and all the non-serviceable joints are deflated...
Almost makes me want to use a syringe / needle and inject some in there lol

I think I saw a thread that mentioned 1 or 2 on the drive shaft area but I haven't checked yet.

I found a way!!

Update:
I never found any zerk fittings but I did find a method that is better than letting these points run dry. For 4$ at the auto parts store I found an attachment for a grease gun that has a thin needle at the end. A few of my joint boots were busted anyway so I got in there the best I could, and the ones that weren't busted I carefully injected them with the needle adapter. So far it looks good and it's such a small hole I don't see it causing an issue.

I'm assuming most Nissan models are like this as I checked moms Altima and found no zerks either..
