Chassis Lube on 1990 Ford Ranger (2.9)?

What would the chassis lube process be for the 1990 Ford Ranger with the 2.9? Are there any grease fittings or is everything sealed. I dont recall seeing any grease fittings on the ball joints or tie rods but then again, I'm pretty new to all of this stuff. I've injured by back/shoulder so I can't really crawl around on the ground at the moment, but I was just watching repair videos and thought I would ask you guys.

Yes, you won't see many, if any, grease fittings any where on Fords after the mid-1980's
Every year there were fewer and fewer parts with Zerk fittings, so can not say specifically were to check on 1990 Ranger

They used "lifetime" lubed parts, but Ford's "lifetime" is when warranty ends, to them that's when you should buy a new vehicle, lol.

Some do drill parts and add Zerk fittings, up to you, and when you buy replacement parts buy the ones with Zerk fittings or if not available that way add your own at that time.
