Lubrication Guide

Check and lubricate all components at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 92. Items not listed in
the chart should be lubricated at the General Lubrication interval.
The a-arms and upper control arms are lubricated at the factory, and no
additional lubrication will be needed. However, if these components are
subjected to severe use, grease zerks have been provided for additional
lubrication at the user's discretion.
