i want to put a nice ceramic or dust free pads on ...also could use a reccomendation on that ...

Unless... They mean lube the pivot points of the swingarms and A Arms with some spray lube ... all the joints that normally (usa made cars ) have grease fittings , were yeah.... sealed .
I just sprayed some T-9 (my favorite ) (goes on wet , then hardens up to like a thin grease) on all the pivot ...

Can't for the life of me figure this one out .
Bought a used 2004 , a month after notice the track bar or panhard bar
is bent toward the spare ... If the car was hit in the rear and the spare tire went into it it would be bent toward the axle ...
How could this bend have occured ?

Litey

I didn't see any zerk fittings under my 2004 ...
Are there any ways to lube the chassis ...if there are no grease fittings ?

Litey

adds vaccuum and then the heat flows in ...
