Chassis Lubrication

(Figure 1) Chassis Lubrication Points:

CHASSIS LUBRICATION
Refer to figure 1 for the location of the lubrication points for the chassis. Lubricate the transmission shift linkage, the park brake guides, the underbody contact points and linkage.

NOTE: Wipe off all dirt from the grease fitting before lubricating the joint. Ball joints should not be lubricated unless their temperature is 10° F (-12° C) or higher. During cold weather, the ball joint should be allowed to warm up as necessary before being lubricated. Use a low-pressure grease gun on all joints to prevent seal damage.

Apply grease slowly until grease is seen bleeding from the seal. If the seal expands but no grease is seen, do not apply any more grease and allow time for the grease to bleed from the seal.

CAUTION: Do not lubricate the parking brake cables. Lubrication destroys the plastic coating on the cable.
