Chassis Lubrication?

Chassis Lubrication
Lubricate the suspension and steering linkage. Lubricate the transmission shift linkage. where are these located and what to lubricate with?

Re: Chassis Lubrication?

Recommended lubricant is specified in the owner's manual. If you don't know where these things are, I recommend getting a manual or have someone else do it.

Re: Chassis Lubrication?

how often should you lube them? by steering linkage, is it referring to the shaft and the knuckle?

Re: Chassis Lubrication?

My car has the nipples for filling on the tie rod ends. I don't believe the ends from the factory had these. I usually just shoot some grease in when i do an oil change. I believe the book says 6000 miles though.

Is this true? I dont think my car does....

Also I asked this question awhile back, couldn't really find anything on the search - what stock suspension parts can be lubricated, my car has alot of squeaks and rattles....

I think newer camaros came with all the greasable fittings sealed so you don't have to worry about greasing them. So it is very likely that you dont have the nipples. If that was the case you wouldnt have them unless you replaced a certain part.
