Lubing under car neccessary?

What are the places that need lubrication under an XB? Do the CV joints and control arms need lube every 15K? I have a needle fitting for my grease gun. What about the doors etc?

cv shafts are sealed and your ball joints should be sealed too. not sure what you would wanna use for the doors.

I heard they still need grease sometimes. You can inject the seals. I was wondering what the techs do when you take your car in.

Usually they remove the boot, pack it with grease, and replace it on the joint.

At least, that's been my experience

axle shafts are usally just removed and replaced. the way things work now is to get more done faster so remove and replace is how its normally done.
