Lube

[FlipTrac_511]

What exactly needs to be "lubed" on the ST? I know oil and fluids must be changed or flushed as regular maintenance, but do certain parts need grease applied to them as well (such as joints)? Are brake and power steering fluid considered lubrication?

Flip,

The suspension on the st is "sealed" from the factory, There are no lube points. There is a special grease gun "needle" fitting that you can pierce the boot with to add some grease to the joints.

With the ST problem with ball joints, this is recommended..

Brake and p/s fluids are not considered lube, BUT you should change them.... I do my brake fluid every brake service, and my p/s fluid with every coolant flush...

Hope this helps

I have drilled & taped all my ball joints [I do this on all my vehicles] Front drive shaft very expensive to replace so take of clamp inject moly grease into it then fit narrow width hose clamp
