[DML] Re: lubricating the suspension

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using a hand operated grease gun lube the upper and lower ball joints.
Get a needle adapter and get under the boot and lube the tie rod ends.
Lube the speedo angle drive. Use silicone spray and spray the sway bar
bushings and the links on each end. Also use the silicone spray and
lubricate the upper and lower spring perches. The front springs tend
to move around a little so they will squeak. The silicone will quiet
them. You can also spray the shock mounts and the control arm
bushings. If the shock itself is squeaking it will need to be
replaced. Inspect the rear trailing arm bolts. If the car was lowered
it may be more prone to squeaking. Check the tire pressures too.
