Ok, got my grease gun and tried to find all 11 zerk fittings. Here is what I found:

3 on the inside of each tire (total of 6)

2 on the bar that runs from one tire to the other (2 total)

So that makes 8 that I found. Where are the other 3? (Plain english with a good description of where to look, please. As you can see from my post, I don't know the difference between a zerk and a torx - weren't they Klingons or something?)

Thanks!

I believe you'll find more info on this at:

Chassis Lubrication etc
 
From the "arm that goes from one wheel to the other"(steering arm--center linkage)....There are two arms that project forward.The one on the driver's side goes to the steering box.It has a zerk on top which is hard to see(this is the Pittman arm)..
On the passenger side is another arm(the idler arm) which has 2 zerks,both on top,one at each end of the arm.These are hard to see too.The front one is best seen by looking rearward from under the front bumper.These 2 zerks are located a little higher than you might anticipate and you may need to "feel around" for them.
Just remember that these 2 arms connect to that black center linkage and aim toward the front bumper.
