* Suspension components: This is the most common location. Look for grease fittings on ball joints, tie rod ends, and the leaf springs (if it has leaf springs; some E-250s have coil springs). The number here varies depending on the configuration.
* U-joints (driveshafts): These usually have zerk fittings that need regular lubrication.
* Steering linkage: Various components in the steering system might have grease fittings.
To find them accurately:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will list recommended lubrication points and intervals.
2. Use a grease gun: While looking under the van, carefully run your fingers along the suspension components and steering linkage, feeling for the small nipples of the grease fittings. A grease gun is helpful as it can reach into some tight spots.
3. Look online: Search for "grease fitting locations Ford E-250 [Year]" on sites like YouTube or forums dedicated to Ford vans. Visual guides can be very helpful.
Remember to use a high-quality grease appropriate for automotive applications. Over-greasing can damage components. If you're unsure, take your van to a mechanic.
