MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 181
Points That Should Not Be Lubricated
There are many points that should not be lubricated;
some because they are permanently lubricated, some
because lubricants will be detrimental to the operating
characteristics, and some because lubricants will cause
component failures.
In particular, do not lubricate rubber bushings, since this
not only will cause them to fail, but will destroy their
necessary frictional characteristics.
Parts that should not be lubricated are as follows:
• Generator bearings
• Drive belt
• Accessory drive belt idler pulley
• Idler arm assembly
• Front wheel bearing
