Lizzybus Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I love the idea of greasing or lubricating anything and everything that is prone to wear (except the brake pads) . Throw back to my MGB and a Defender . I have no idea how to lubricate the upright to lower wishbone joint .Hate the idea of all the wear thats going on .No nipples to play with . So , what do I do to with this set up ? Is it just a case of unbolting , splitting and a good greasing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM25T Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 You don't want grease on that spherical joint, as it will attract grit. A spot of light oil maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlastererPete Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I give my spherical joints a little dose of silicone/ptfe lubricant. Any kind of “dry” lubricant should be ok as not to attract dirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzybus Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 "Ohh , err , missus" so I have spherical balls .That's nice to know . So not as much fun as nipples , MGB King Pins and my Land Rover Swivel Ball and my "one shot" grease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
