Default Lube the C5 chassis??

I assume there are no lube points that require regular grease addition on a C5 chassis or suspension components but was hoping someone that knows for sure could confirm or tell me to get busy lubing???

Thanks! :confused:

OMG! You haven't lubed your C5??!!?? In how long??!!??

Relax . . . :) You are correct. No traditional grease fittings with the little grease-tails hanging off of 'em when you get underneath.

Oh, I've looked . . . :yesnod:

Just took my 99 in for an oil change. Cost me $98.00. They put on the bill that they did a chassis lube. :mad :smash: Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I'm canceling my stupid extended service contract today. Hell, I have been doing all my own work up to now, and I just found out Cartek is only 37.1 miles from my garage. BTW, when I got the car back, there were hand prints all over the front drivers fender, all over the door handle, and all over the steering wheel, then they put down that my car had 109,900 miles on it. I only bought it 2 mos. ago FROM THEM and it only had 23k on it then! To think, I got all this mileage from a used pair of run craps! :crazy:

Not trying to offend but my 84 has zerks on the ball joints & tie rod ends. I can't say about later C4's.
