GREASE

So what all needs greasing on the Legend car.  I see the ball joints and the steering rack.  What else is there?

Wheel Bearings



Probably more; But I haven't slept in over 18 hours.
I'm sure that some of the more seasoned members will let you know.

I found a grease fitting towards the front of my driveshaft.

Some tie rod ends have grease nipples.  Some ball joints...

Ball joints, tierod ends, u-joints (Depending on what brand you use.)   Also, give the hiems a good squirt of a teflon based lubricant like TriFlow brand lube.
*FYI* NEVER use wd-40 as a lubricant.  It is a cleaner and will attract dust, and not provide lubrication at all.

If your tierod ends or ball joints do not have a zerk fitting *grease nipple*   Get a zerk kit and install them.  Drill a 1/8" hole on the cup side of the joint, tap it and install the fitting.  You will not regret it.
With Legends, Its not your tires that are screaming, its the Pavement.
