I am trying to locate the lubrication points on the front end of my 1996 honda Civic. I can not seem to see any zerk fittings to add grease. Short of buying a Chilton's manual which on any other car that I have ever had has been very vague, I have had no luck finding this information. Thank you for your help.

The front suspension is sealed and doesn't require additional lubrication.

With better component sealing, this is becoming more and more common on many vehicles.

I was not sure on Japanese vehicles made for export to the USA, but in Japan on Local cars, they do not put zerk fitting on any cars except 4WD or vans that are popular to convert to camping type vehicles. They don't keep a car long enough here to need a lube job, if the part wears out, it just gets changes with a new OEM part, period. They are not big on second hand cars either.
