broken zerk/grease fitting

[spederman]

I found a broken off zerk fitting under my car on the garage floor. I have no idea what it broke off from. What all parts on a 99-04 Mustang has these? Its not the calipers, all bleeder screws are intact. Not sure what else to check, and nothing else is obvious just looking around underneath the car.

Driveshaft U-joints?

Ball joints maybe

Maybe on your rear U/L control arms?

I have an aluminum drive shaft and dont see any places on the U joints that even have zerk fittings, is there any on the U joints OEM from ford? Upper control arms are still stock as well, didnt see any place for zerk fittings. The rear lower control arms are from MM and still have the zerk fitting attached. The front control arms are aftermarket and still have the fittings on the ball joints. Its driving me nuts that i cant figure out where it came from.

It would drive me crazy too. What's bad is it's probably not even from your car it just got in there somehow but you'll keep looking , lol

You are the smartest person alive! way to think outside of the box, i would have never in a million years figured that one out, it actually was from my Jack.

If i ever meet you in person, i'm buying you a beer my friend, you have solved an irritating problem that ive been trying to figure out for 2 weeks, LOL.

Thanks to all the others for ideas too.
