Each drive SHAFT should have 3 NIPPLES. After you grease your NIPPLES make sure to oil your swivel *****.

good luck

Grease your NIPPLES each and every oil change and after wading in deep water, oil your ***** at least once a year.
I prefer to grease my ***** every 6 months.

BTW, also save some spray lube for each end of the hood latch cable. Real blast when it breaks off.

From the factory there are 3 zerks on the front propshaft, one on each u-joint and one on the slip joint.
On the rear propshaft there are 2 or 3 depending on if yours came with a rotoflex or cardan type u-joint at the rear diff.
It's possible someone has replaced the ball joints (tie rode ends) with the greaseable, so they would have one each.
