I'm surprised your '69 has grease fittings. At some point SAAB started fitting ball joints and tie-rod ends without them. I thought that was during '69. I know my '67 and my sister's '68 had them. I never had to replace a ball joint and I only replaced one tie-rod end in 11 years of driving that '67. The old style ball joints also are adjustable, so if they get loose, you tighten the big screw on them.
Don't forget to grease the steering rack, too.
Always be sure to clean the grease nipples thoroughly before pumping grease in. If you don't, you will pump dirt into the fittings and cause premature failure.
