Any tips on lubing suspension. Grease type , points and areas. I's starting to make some noise.

Mike, AKA Lubemaster, has some great products for the lubrication of your vehicle. As far as what needs what, a Bentley Manual will help. Good luck!! Tony.

stock susp. has NO lube points.
squeeking may be rubbing caused by cold flow failure of old bushings if not stock, may be nasty polygraphite aftermarket bushings that want to be replaced... |

squeaking with factory rubber bushings is usually actually the torsion bars rubbing on their housings because the bushings have flowed. This means torsion bar replacement $oon.

I use a syringe with synthetic oil in it to squirt/lube all the bushing crevices, synthetic oil will not attack rubber.

I found the Zerk fittings, what type of synthetic grease should I buy? It is red in color, high pressure ? I have the gun. Elephant Racing type bushings.
