Greasing '94 4X4 question

I was greasing my 4runner this weekend and I was looking around the front end for more zirks when I came across the small rubber boots on the A-frame(Not sure of the exact description, but it's where the wheel pivots left to right). There is a rubber nipple(for lack of a better term) on the boot and I can pinch it and see grease inside the boot. Do these need to be greased and if so, how.
Thanks

On my rig, I had to install some grease fittings so that I could grease the upper and lower ball joints (what you are referring to). Those rubber nipples don't do anything!!

according to Robinhood150, those are steering stops. I dont think they are greasable. He said if the boots are in a bad shape get new ones of lube up the tits really good.

They aren't the steering stops.
