LUBE Points?

[Austen]

What kind of discussion can we have about about lubricating the chassis or suspenssion points?

 

[JJsKJ]

Unless you have Moog lower ball joints and/or Al's or RRO's upper ctrl arms, there isn't much to lube since everything is sealed. A few have pumped grease into the boots of the ball joints and tie rod ends but unless it is actually pumped Through the joint it isn't very effective at lubing the moving parts of those components.

i need to know this also.

The KJ comes from the factory sealed,like JJ stated unless you added aftermarket balljoints and rear u-joints that are greaseable there are zero grease points on the KJ.Also like stated by JJ just adding grease to balljoint/tie rod boots is totally useless,the grease needs to be forced through the joint to correctly lube it.

I have 6 points upper and lower ball joints and both rear u joints......but I thinks thats about as far as we can go

I spray the sway bar bushings etc as part of my oil change routine since I am under there on a creeper anyway. This is not really a grease job but the best I can do since there are no zerks.

There is no way to grease anything as others said. Most newer vehicles are like this.

That is a good idea to keep the from drying out as quickly and making that "creaking" sound when they get dry.

Man thats going to take you about 10 minutes longer doing the monthly oil change after you add all of them!
