Im having a hard time finding the answers I need. What parts of my suspension need to be greased on a regular basis? (at oil changes). Also, where would I need a grease gun and where are grease 'nipple' locations?

sorry if this is a repeat.

front wheel drive car=no grease fittings(alot of the time)

 

ok, maybe i'm saying it wrong of using the wrong words/terms, but aren't there joints at the base of the strut where the spring rests, in that area isn't there a spot that is supposed to be greased? the hose on the grease gun fits there doesn't it?? I'm so lost, feeling kind of dumb right now. we filled them on the front of my dads cirrus the other day cause they were empty, the 'jackets' had no grease in them.

please help me if im stating things completely wrong.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

 

I had my suspension all apart and I don't think there are any joints with grease fittings. If there is a specific sqeak you are trying to get rid of, you will have to take something apart to put grease on it. but there shouldn't be any PM that needs to be done to the suspension.

 

from what I've seen of my suspension all the ball joints and tierod ends are sealed, meaning they don't need to be greased

 

all of the joints on the civic front end are non-serviceable.

 

if you see a fitting at the base area where the strut is, it is more than likely the bleed valve for the brakes, FWD do not have anywhere to be greased

 

well I was thinking of the sway bar bushings. They can sqeak when the car gets old, and they are fairly easy to disassemlbe and put some grease around the bar
