Hi all, I did a quick search and checked the FAQ thread, and perhaps I've missed it.. but is there a thread or guide about maintenance pertaining to checking, greasing, retorquing the suspension/chassis/drivetrain components?
So far, all I have is greasing/lubricating the propellor shaft and checking the steering linake for from the FSM.
Lubricate all grease fittings:
What does everyone here do? I have so far, replaced my steering damper and swaybar mount bushes. One of my swaybar end links look like it might be on borrowed time too (one of the boots looks like it may be leaking grease). Is there any way to test these before going to the expense of replacing them? Car has only 151,000km on the odometer.
I want to ensure I check, tighten and lubricate all necessary steering, suspension and chassis components at determined intervals.
It looks like dad had some grease nipples tapped into the rear shock absorbers too. I am yet to attempt to pump any grease into those. It looks like he's been doing the front propellor shaft as I can see the excess grease has flown up onto parts of the underbody.
I'd been keep to hear if there is a list or thread that consolidates all of this into one area.
Many thanks,
Pete

- Sliding yoke
- U-joints
- Double–Cardan joint (moly grease)
