Drive shaft lubrication on 2wd 3rd gens.

There is litterally no zerk fittings or any such nipples to insert grease into the driveshaft. Ive seen zerks on 4wd models but not on 2wd models. Id tried looking for any such double cardan joints the spiders. Not a thing in sight!

I'm not sure on 2wd models but if there isn't one then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The 2WD models have permanently lubed joints (ie no way to service them).
Only the 4WD 3rd gens have serviceable joints.
