GENERAL UPKEEP

FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING

Nipples are provided for lubricating the steering swivels (A), outer tie rod,

ball joints, outer bushes of. the lower wish-bones (B) (Fig. 13), and the

steering slave drop arm pivot.

Do not lubricate the joints attached to the

drop arms as they contain rubber.

Lubricate the inner nylon wish-bone

bushes with oil occasionally. A pronounced squeak develops when these bushes

become dry. When greasing the lower suspension swivels it is an advantage

to jack up under the road spring pan until the front wheel is free of the

ground. This allows grease to cover the thrust faces.

Grease these points

every 1,000 miles.

After greasing the steering swivels, wipe away all surplus grease.

This will

prevent it from contaminating the disc brakes.
