    O.K., Weavers, I got a question.....

    [?] Since so much of the suspension mounts are bronze-bushed, and since they all have grease fittings, how often should I be shooting some grease into these?

    So far (2500 miles) I've done it twice in front and once in the rear...but don't have much feel for what should really be the schedule.

    What says youse? [:P][:P]

    None of the suspension mounts are bronze-bushed, they are a nylon type material. I would grease them at oil changes.

    Once a year is plenty, just a little, then wipe off all the excess. The same for U-joints, if you are driving 2,500 miles a year they could go years without lube. The u-joints sling the grease everywhere if you over grease. A good synthetic like Redline will keep them in good shape for a long time.

    Actually, glad to hear they are not bronze. Hopefully modern plastics will hold up better.

    Being plastic, I got to believe that the proper grease is instrumental in long life. Thanks, Eliminator - will look into redline's stuff.
