  Thanks for posting that!  Good information on steering.

  Isn't there an early and late version of the alpha 1 gen 2 and the earlier models had more grease fittings than later versions?
  
  I think I've seen where newer models have been drilled/tapped to add grease zerks to steering pins

  If you look at the manual it has lubrication points for early and late models with power steering and also manual steering with the type of lube for each point. Newer ones only have one zerk fitting and if I remember correctly it was hard to find. (Look on under side of point shown)

  Never found one grease fitting. Run my hand all around and underneath.
