Are there grease points on a Dodge Ram?
There are no grease points on any suspension/driveline components on your truck if everything is factory. You can buy aftermarket ball joints,tie rods, U joints etc that are greaseable.

If you need to grease a ball joint or tie-rod end and it has no grease fitting, there is a way to grease the non-greaseable joints. What to use is a needle adapter on the grease gum. The needle adapter can get grease into almost any area that a typical grease gun can not reach.
Can a grease gun be used on a trailer?

I only have 2 locations in my truck.
