986 chassis lubrication

pardon my ignorance if this is obvious and i'm just missing it somewhere easy, but....
where the heck can i find a grease point chart for our vehicle (2001 986s)? just want to hit all the lube points on it after changing oil.
thank you!

I may be wrong, but there are no zerk fittings anywhere on the suspension.

Are there still cars that need regular chassis lubrication?

interesting and good to know....just want to be sure i keep everything working like it should.

i'm used to working on the 3/4 and 1-ton trucks i use in business which definitely do have grease points in the suspension....but then again, they're trucks.

starting to get a groan from the right front when i turn the wheel. not loud or particularly consistent, but it's there.

is it likely that could be the steering rack?

It's probably the power steering pump.

turns out the upper strut plate bearing has gone bad, causing the groan.
may just as well change springs when i replace it.....
