Lubrication Recommendations

Check and lubricate all components at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 70. Items not
listed in the chart should be lubricated at the general lubrication
interval.
NOTE:
The a-arms and lower 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.
