Chassis Lubrication
In the owner's manual it says to lube the parking brake guides, steering, suspension, lift points, and linkages.
Can someone pinpoint what exactly needs lubrication, since the instructions are pretty vague. Also what kind of grease is recommended (do you actually use grease, or spray everything down with silicone / WD40)?

On my parking brake guides I use a spray lube, same stuff I use on the door & hood hinges & cables @ the hood release levers & hood pins.
I'm not sure if my 90 parking brake guides are the same as yours, mine are exposed at the calipers for just a short distance and are wrapped in rubber. I lube the attachment point at the actuator on the rear calipers.
The rest is just Zerk fittings on the front end: 4 B/J's, 2 tie-rod ends.
