dajogejr Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Lots of squeaking from the front end...96 shee. Greased 'er up good where there were fittings, and then jumped up and down on her for a few minutes to work it in. Still bad...sprayed a little WD 40 in/around the shock bolts...no diff. I know they're sealed ball joints...time for new A Arms...can the ball joints be replaced? Was thinking of using a teeny, tiny grease needle to lube up the joints. Any other suggestions? Quote
Holyman Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Spray down the shock shaft with spray silicone. If that doesn't do it, take the pivot bolts loose and put grease on the insides of the dust caps. If you have skid plates on the A arms, they may be a little loose. Quote
Tim C Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Try greesing the bushings in the bottom of the front shocks - I had this happen to me a few times and it anoying as hell. Take the shocks off and take the bushing out of the bottom and clean and greese it good. Quote
fixitrod Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 I usually find it to be the shock mounts also. Quote
dajogejr Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Posted April 1, 2005 Well...you boys have me a little happier now... I'd much rather remove the shocks then go A-ARM/ball joint shopping. Was planning on a pre-season tear down for a good cleaining and greasing this weekend anyways. Got the jetting spot on and ripping...so, it's time. Thanks...folks....much, MUCH appreciated. Quote
dajogejr Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Posted April 1, 2005 You guys rock... A little angle die grinder with a scotch brite pad, a little belray grease, and it's good as new. It was just the shocks...bone dry... Thanks again... Quote
