BODY MAINTENANCE
Body and other operating mechanisms should be
inspected, and relubricated as needed. This is neces-
sary to maintain ease of operation and to provide
protection against rust and wear.
Prior to applying any lubricant, wipe the parts
clean to remove dust and grit. After lubricating parts,
remove excess oil or lubricant.
Relubricate mechanisms as outlined in the follow-
ing paragraphs. Where Lubr¡pla†e is specified, use a
smooth,
white body hardware lubricant conforming
to NLGI grade 1. Chrysler Parts Lubripla†e, Part
Number 1064768 or equivalent, is a suitable lubricant.
Where Door Ease Lubricant is specified, use a stain-
less wax type lubricant such as Chrysler Parts Door
Ease,
Part Number 774512 or equivalent.
