Chassis Lubrication

Lubricating Joints that have Grease Fittings

Important: Wipe off all dirt from the grease fitting before lubricating the joint.

Ball joints should not be lubricated unless the temperature of the ball joints is 10 °F (-12 °C) or higher. During cold weather, allow the ball joint to warm up as necessary before being lubricated. Use a low-pressure grease gun on all joints to prevent seal damage.
Apply grease slowly while watching the grease seal. Apply the grease until the grease is seen bleeding from the seal. If the seal expands but you do not see any grease, do not apply any more grease. Allow time for the grease to bleed from the seal.
