Thanks David! That explains why I thought I should have one. I have it on the
BN4 but not the BJ8.

The grease fitting is only on the rear shackle where it attached to the
chassis. This was eliminated in the BJ8.

There's a
grease fitting on the chassis. It sticks out the back of the
rear mount for
the spring. Lubes the two shouldered bushings pressed
into the steel tube
welded to the frame.
