Chassis Lubrication

CHASSIS LUBRICATION

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

Lubricate the transaxle shift linkage, the park brake guides, and the underbody contact points and linkage.

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 their temperature is -12�C (10�F) 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 while watching the grease seal. Apply grease 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.
