while she is still up in the air, and just before putting the front wheels back on and lowering her to the floor i thought i would give her a blast with the air powered grease gun ,as the last time was two years ago..

so , on with the compressor, out with the hose and grease gun and under the car we go

first of all its the rear suspension lower pivots etc, and then the half shaft universal joints, especially the inboard ones as they get more heat from the brake discs than the outers ,

then , its the lower pivot to the hub carrier until the grease comes out around where the felt seals are on the ends and i also remove the grease cap to the hub carrier and pump some in there as well ,

then working my way forward i give the drive shaft UJ a blast , and then onto the front suspension

only a few points up front to do , but they all need looking after
