Where are the chassis Lubrication points?
I was looking at my car today and I couldn't find my Lubrication Points on my Chassis. My car is a Rx7 FC and the year is 1988. If any one else knows where they are can you please reply.

Actually there are Few,if any.
If the stock ball joints etc are there and have the Zirc fittings(grease nipples) then you can lube them.Otherwise it is a grease-less already lubed joint.
The drive-shaft has no lube points,the rear has none,lower front suspension none..It is all Rubber sleeved joints.
The newer aftermarket bushings are made if material such as delrin,and sometimes that kit includes a little lube,as the bushings have a small slit in the inside to keep that little bit of lube in the joint.
Guys just opt to replace the bushings if they don't feel adequate.They upgrade to the newer materials other than the old rubber mounts/bushings.
The driveshaft is supposed to have non replaceable U joints but you can take it to a driveshaft shop and replace the the U joints with ones that have the grease fitting.
I hope that helps you.
