Question Grease points?

Just had a thought, have to ask this as I cannot get JTIS up and running on my computer, are there any grease points on the XK8 1999 coupe? Last time I was moving her I could hear creaking noises, sounding like dry joints. However this is a car that had only covered approx. 700 miles in the last 3.5 years. Are there any grease nipples on the chassis or places to oil/grease to negate this creaking sound?
Many thanks,

ArtyH

There are four grease points in the rear, two each on the half-shafts between the differential and the rear wheels.

Now that it's being discussed, I've had a loud creaking noise driver's front side. Basically not consistent, I can make it groan when pushing on that fender. Similar grease spots for front?

No. No Grease Points in the Front or Rear Suspension. Just the 4 on the 2 Rear Half Shafts.
