Chassis Lubing Help please ???
I've been changing the oil on my 'vette and my parents's cars since I learned how to a few months ago. I don't know however anything about lubing the chassis. What exactly is this, what do I need, and how do I do it? I need all the info on this - if it's not too much trouble.
Thanks :seeya

First, you'll need to get ahold of a grease gun. Next, search for all those grease (zerk) fittings on all the ball joints. As for grease, if you're picky, you can try some Mobil1 syn grease (in the tube). Also, caps are available for these fittings... keeps small dirt and crap from clogging the springy-ball-valve-thingyon them. I shouldn't be talking, as I haven't done this yet.
Well, at least a TTT will get some more feedback.

Thanks for the info. How important is it to do this? How often should it be done?
Thanks!

(Haven't checked the Haynes, but it should cover the location of all the lube fittings, right?) :cheers:
