Section D3 LUBRICATION OF THE STEERING LINKAGE J O I N T S Suspension
Steering
The suspension requires no lubrication a s all joints are pre-packed sealed units, although it i s possible to renew the s e a l s if damaged (see Chapter H - Sub frames and Suspension).
Lubrication of the steering linkage joints i s accomplished through six grease nipples (see Fig. Dl). The grease nipples should be lubricated with the approved grease every 12,000 miles (20000 km.) or 12 months.
