| Chassis & suspenison lube?
So, it's Spring and all the snow is finally gone and it's time to do a spring check up.
Are there grease fittings that can be lubed on the suspension, ball joints etc, or are they all sealed?
Any points that should be sprayed or greased? |

Definitely lube the poly bushings in the rear. The torsion bar bushings should also be lubed. Hopefully more responses will point out other lube points. |

Hey "P"..l just had my front lower ball joints done and what a difference....no more squeaking....With a 118,000 km's on the dial...it needed it...Actually in the last few months since she been paid off, l have had my front brakes done...the aforementioned front lower ball joints and all the bushings in the front done..sway bar bushings as well as control arm bushings...lt was funny, when l was having the work done at the dealership to see all the seizure'a underneath, l'm assuming that added a bit to the squeaking..but all is well now....l plan on having all my fluids changed tranny, transfer case, and front and rear differentials..that should keep me for a while...l tried the silicone lubricants for a while, but some squeaks would still come back..so l bit the bullet and the "55"..is roaring again..............  |
