Actually there's no fitting on any of the components but there are holes for them on everything but the centerlink side of the pitman arm.

How do you grease the joint? I thought of drilling a hole but would greased metal shavings be better than no grease?

It doesn't matter if you win or lose. It only matters if "I" win.

The pitman arm itself doesn't get greased. The center link does if it has
a fitting. If it doesn't it won't get greased. The idle arm may not have a
fitting either. Some do, some don't. If you buy a new one make sure it
has the fitting. I tried to drill out one of mine and it is very hard metal.
Good Luck!

The pitman arm has the joint. The centerlink just has a tapered hole.

When you say it doesn't get greased, does that mean it's not needed and will last forever? : )

The original Ford unit on my 68 1/2 CJ with manual steering has no grease fitting, came that way from the factory.

If it doesn't have a fitting then, yes and no. Yes, you don't grease it
and no, it doesn't last for ever. After the joint becomes loose you have
to replace the part. Sorry!
