Lubrication Guide
Check and lubricate all components at the intervals outlined in the Peri-
odic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 73. Items not listed in the
chart should be lubricated at the General Lubrication interval.
The a-arms and lower control arms are lubricated at the factory, and no
additional lubrication will be needed. However, if these components are
subjected to severe use, grease zerks have been provided for additional
lubrication at the user's discretion.
