um, guessing like other FWD cars.... little as zero, max to 4...

just check lower ball joint & outer tie rod ends... some aftermarket units (if it was relplaced w/ MOOG for example) will have those zerk fittings...

OEM did away w/ them for some reason recently=sux

Appreciate the reply! My brother asked me since I'm a nissan guy,but I'm into the S-chassis I don't know maximas very well yet.

Personally I'm glad my S-chassis doesn't have grease fittings,less work for me:icesangel

no prob,

but, I like the grease fittings... I had to replace my outer tie rod ends because the grease was depleted, then the boots was torn, then wobbling steering wheel... arg, replaced them w/ aftermarkets & just add grease @ least once a year...

lower ball joints are showing signs of grease depletion, but i found a tool that looks like a needle to inject more grease into them, thus prolonging their life!
