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.
