preventive measures - Control Arm
Hi all,
i am doing research on our faulty control arms... it seems like once they've gone bad, they can be very expensive to fix. i can not afford that to happen on my car.
now, i've found some info posted by "UrS4", but, i can not find the step by step instruction on how to perform these preventive repairs..
can someone pls help me on this? thanks

You can drill into the knuckle and add a grease fitting. Make shure the fittings don't interfear-
with each other when the steering is turned. Otherwise, refilling the skirt with chassis grease might help it last longer, but after it is squeaking it will eventually fail.
PS "Self Tapping" fittings are not what they say. You have to thread it yourself.
