One of my tractors has over 6000 meter hours on it and I've only had to adjust the front pivot one time, the entire time and I farm with mine, but I grease them often as well. If you stay after it with regular and consistent greasing, they never wear out. Rebuilding the front outboards requires some special tools and bushing drivers. Of course regular greasing the zerk on top of the upper knuckle eliminates that issue (if you have one). Slop in that position indicates worn king pin bushings and excessive slop will cause the seal between the upper and lower knuckles to start leaking and once they start leaking the seal must be replaced. Grab the wheel in the 12 and 6 position and see if you can move it. If they move easily, you have a tie rod issues and they need replaced. With the front axle in the air, grab the wheels in the 9 and 3 position and move them back and forth. That applies to the front trunnion as well but the front trunnion has no plug. If no plug, grease until you see grease oozing from the joint.
There are 2 fittings, one on the front trunnion and one on the back, the rear one you need to pull the square head pipe plug (if it has one) and grease until it's coming out and then replace the plug. You loosen the hex nut on the very front of the axle and turn in the hex head bolt (that the nut fits over) until it's tight (torque spec is in your owners manual) and then back it off 1/4 turn and lock it with the nut.don't forget tp grease it too. With the front axle in the air, there should be no slop in the front pivot at all and it's easy to adjust and really should be adjusted if there is any.
