Where are the grease points on a car?
The only grease points are on every UNi joint and slip joint on the prop shafts, so 3 uni joints on rear shaft and 2 UNi joints on front shaft and 1 slip joint on each shaft equals 7 grease nipples in total to lube up.

How does the grease gun work on a grease fitting?
Design. Grease fittings are permanently installed by either a (taper) thread or straight push-fit (‘hammer in’) arrangement, leaving a nipple connection that a grease gun attaches to. The pressure supplied by the grease gun forces a small captive bearing ball in the fitting to move back against the force of its retaining spring.
What are the different types of Grease fittings?
The grease gun hose is usually at a sharp angle (e.g. 70-90°) to the axis of the nipple but can be approached from any azimuthal angle. It is not possible for grease pressure to force this type of connector away from the nipple. Grease fittings are commonly made from zinc-plated steel, stainless steel, or brass.
