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 order, so I hit the three grease
nipples I found. Are there more? I found the lower outer a-arm, and two
(high and low on the axle assembly. I never found the steering rack nipple
or tie-rod ends. Any help here?
Anyway, I'm glad I did it 'cause I know you should keep the front end
well-lubricated, but the squeak goes on. Happens at dead stop if you
bounce the front fenders. Listening, it seems to come from the inner a-arm
bushing area. Is there something I can spray in there that won't hurt my
poly bushings?
Also, I have a question about shock filling. I know we've gone through oil
weights etc., but I've got a more basic question. Which is the filler
plug? :)
I took out the small bolt nearest the engine (on top of the shock) and that
turned out to be wrong. Before I screwed something up, I decided to ask
first. :) I see four bolts on the top of the shock. A big and small one
nearest the engine and two identically sized ones nearest the tires. Any
of these?
Thanks so much for everyone's advice on this one.
