Default joint lube

I have a 2000 Grand Marquis that I purchased a year ago and I wanted to lube the joints. However, there seem to be no grease fittings anywhere. What can I do??

I have a 2001 Grand Marquis with 15,000 original miles. None of the front end parts have grease fittings. I recently had a shop change the idler arm because it was not stiffer than the other components. I have heard that there is a way to inject some lubricant with a syringe through the rubber boot. My car does not handle well under certain conditions. I think that some of my fittings are too stiff.

I can't believe they would build something like that!
Thanks for the feed back.

many replacement parts have the grease fittings... syringe with grease is a way to do it thru the boot... and the way your car handles isnt due to tight parts, but more than likely worn out shocks and sway bar bushings being worn...
