  • Want to know how to get more life our of suspension components? In this video we go over a simple maintenance task that should be performed with every oil change, that's a chassis lube. Performing a chassis lube is a simple task but is typically over looked by owners. Make sure you grease the ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar bushings, drive shafts and U-joints whenever a zerk fitting is installed.

    great video.. I have recently heard and felt a creaking sound emanating from the front suspension and steering of my 2001 VW Caravelle . after viewing a guy greasing his SEALED ball joints I copied his method and drilled a 3.32 hole in the ball joint where a grease nipple would normally be situated .. After injecting grease into all of the rod ends and ball joints the annoying ceaking and vibration had gone and my front suspension and steering was so much more fluid . I had recently replaced the shock absorbers front and back and I was almost convinced it was one of the new shocks creaking . the local agricultural supplier had some grease nipples and stainless steel needles which provided the perfect way to add grease into the joints .

    I saw a YT video on greasing different suspension parts that do not have a grease fitting using a grease gun needle available from most auto parts supply stores The video showed how to use the needlel to pierce thru the rubber boot,( at the top to force the grease down and push the contaminates out the bottom), then clean the penetration's point with any type of solvent, and seal it with super glue. Be sure to mark the penetration point so you can use it again for greasing's next time. Seemed to make sense to me.

    I was always taught minimum of 2 to 3 pumps of grease does the trick on most fittings. Recently put on new front sway bar links and I had a bunch of grease spewed out on the mounting surface. I think I over greased them and the excess was just squeezing out and the seals weren't actually bad, just error on my part.

    • @fluffyhellion
      @fluffyhellion 3 роки тому +3

      Be careful, there is pressure inside joints, nipples, etc and can explode grease out fast enough to do damage. There's a very important reason why grease guns warn you of serious injury or death and amputation... When grease gets shot into your body it isn't compatible with your tissues. It causes necrosis, gangrene, compartment syndrome and sepsis. It will feel like a little sting and you must IMMEDIATELY go to the ER for surgery if you feel that little sting. They have to cut out all tissues that touched grease. It's called 'pressure injection injury' and can happen from paint sprayers as well. They sell safety fittings and there is info on how to minimize risks. The pressure between the nipple and the nozzle can reach 15000psi and a droplet of grease can kill you. Sorry, I'm honestly not trying to sound all fatalist and stuff, but this ends careers and lives. Livelihoods gone to machismo. Do it for your family and your future, learn the risks.

      Yeah that's because car companies know that most people dont take care of their cars so they do that to make them last longer for the average driver even though they cut the life of those parts down for the people who actually care about their cars it's pretty sad... Just dont be fooled by the "lifetime" transmission fluid it lasts 100k miles technically but the optimal time to change it to make your tranny last longer is about 60k also the rubber boots tend deteriorate before the grease does so I would use some of that spray sh!t that makes your rubber boots last longer. In my opinion they shouldn't have done that people who care about their cars deserve the extra life of parts people who don't deserve the extra cost.

    I notice on man almost every one of these videos after greasing you rip the little connector loose from the zert if you'll look more carefully at it or read the back of the package on one that's new it twists on and twist off loosen it up put it on the zert then twist it tight. To take it off again to twist it couple of turns and lift it off look at 1 when it's new the 3 or 4 Little clamps inside go over the top of the zert about like hooking a trailer over the towing ball hitch then you tighten it up it stays on until you loosen it. Dont rip it off. now you have both hands-free to pump your grease gun.
