- Hello folks, This is a bit of follow up to the Thursday night PUDDLJMPR chat night. That evening I talked about the loud squeak in the front susepension of my '74 Midget. I figured greasing was in or

- There are only the three grease nipples you found, none on the tie rod ends (permanently lubricated, until they wear out). The steering rack is lubricated normally with oil (I use 90W gear oil). The

- The early Spridgets might have a grease nipple on the steering rack, but my '73 (and I imagine Philip's '74) do not. It's place is taken by a 1/2-inch hex bolt plug that has to be removed for adding

- Your '79 will have the Spitfire rack which won't have the same arrangement. Peter << There is (or should be) a grease nipple on the steering rack. >> Gerard: I think that is only on the earlier racks

- Peter, Thanks a ton! You're not too late. I got busy and topping up the shocks wasn't a priority. Now it looks like this weekend - but I know where the filler hole is. :) Cheers, Philip 1974 Damask M
