I have a Georgetown Class A. The manual says there are 9 grease fittings on the front suspension. Does anyone know if the fittings are factory installed? If not are they Standard or Metric? Thanks

Welcome hapecmpr to irv2.
As far as I know they are standard they may have plastic caps on they to keep out dirt and one often forgotten is the steering gear box.
Your service manual should have the locations on a diagram.
Enjoy the forums and do post often.

With full credit given to our buddy, Bill "SUBFORD" who originally posted this.



Not sure what you mean by standard or metric. Any normal grease gun will work.

My rig is still in storage so I couldn't look at it. What I meant is if I have to buy the fittings, they come in both metric and standard sizes. But since it sounds like they are installed, it doesn't matter. Thamks for the info.

My ex 2002 F53 didn't have any on the driveshaft but some may have them.

Jack the weight off the front end to grease the Kingpins. My 06 chassis doesn't have them on drive line.
