lubrication question on a 2017 GT

I have a 2017 GT with the PP and am wondering what needs grease (if anything) on the underside. Are there any grease fittings on the suspension. I do my own oil changes and don't want to miss anything.

Due to the lack of a response I assume there are no grease fittings on the under side front or rear. I guess I could call my dealer but they don't always have the answer. I'm sure there's a DIY oil change member out there that knows. Thanks.

I have been under my 13 and 17 a bunch of times... pulling k member, replacing springs, supercharger installs. Don't recall seeing any grease fittings.

There are no grease fittings on OEM parts, they have "lifetime" grease packed into them.
I'm not sure whose "lifetime" they refer, but from previous experience I'm pretty sure it's the lifetime of the part, lol.
When they leak out it's time to put a new one in, and that might be the best time to upgrade to aftermarket parts with grease fittings.

Lifetime = warranty period + at least 1 mile
