Default Anything to Grease?

2006 Dodge Grand Caravan v6 3.8L
I can see the grease zerks on the ball joints is there any other zerks that I may be missing? Also how often should I grease the Zerks?

Thanks again
You guys are Great

Those aren't grease zerks on the ball joints, they are wear indicators. There is nothing to grease on a minivan. Unless aftermarket parts were installed, then.....? I've seen greaseable tie rod ends and sway bar link joints.

ah, thanks, I didn't even try to put grease on them, I was surprised when I saw them, I know my jeep has no greaseable zerks

what are they then, and would it indicate a problem if they look like they have some black grease on them?

Don't see a whole lot of issues with ball joints on the RS minivan. I can print out how to check them if you need it but I wouldn't worry about them.
