Question Lubricate steering linkage system

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9 liter V8 Quad Cab and in reviewing the owner’s manual, it states that I need to ‘lubricate the steering linkage system’ at every oil change. I looked at the system and couldn’t find any nipples to hit with a grease gun. Is this a permanently sealed system or am I missing something? Thanks.

Anywhere on the steering linkage that has a ball-joint should have a fitting.

It's normal, most of the OEM parts are non greasable.

There are at least 3. THe upper ball joints (x2), and the pittman arm.

Tie rods are not greasers for OEM parts.
