Is there somewhere that I could look for information that would provide the location for all the grease fittings on a 1996 Corvette.
 
There should be six. One at each of the upper and lower ball joints and one each at the tie rod ends.
 
Lubrication

My '95 has 4 grease fittings, one on each ball joint. All 4 can be accessed from the top, but the bottom 2 require a mirror to see. The tie rod ends have permanent fittings.
Your '96 is likely the same.
I don't know about a lot of Corvettes, but I've had cars of the same year that had differing grease fitting locations. For example my wife's and Dad's 92 Buicks were different in that one had permanent tie rod fittings and one had grease fittings. Both were bought used so one (or both?) may not have been factory.
It's easy to feel the tie rod ends and determine whether there are fittings.
 
My 88 also has 6. No one seems to be able to get to the lower ball joint fitting. The grease gun end is too big to reach. They usually leave a big ball of grease on the fitting.
 
My 87 had a couple in the rear linkage also . Cliff
