That's odd. Newer pieces of equipment coming with grease zerks are further and further in between. Often new equipment is coming with sealed fittings because all too often people ignored their grease zerks and caused premature failure. If you think that you can drill, tap, and make sure there are no burrs left, great idea. I've never done tie rod ends, pitman arms, or anything like that because they've all had grease zerks, but there have been slow moving pieces that I or a friend has done. If it moves, lubricate it as best you can.
