How often do you grease/lube your car?

[GDawg]

I don't think I ever have and it's at 46K...

Where are the grease fittings?

Does anything on our car have grease fittings?
Ford likes us to buy replacement parts

Maybe lube the suspension bushings once in a while..........anyone know with what?

My LCA's have spherical bearings on the chassis side, I don't know if I can lube them with anything.

Most modern cars have grease-for-life. The service hours of todays greases can exceed the life expectancy of the bearings so many of them are maintenance-free. Its not that Ford expects it to break, its that you really don't need to do anything.

The mustang is sealed. No grease fittings.

Cool... I started thinking about it the other day and since I do my own oil changes figured that maybe I dropped the ball on that one.

... Tell that to my tie rods which needed to be replaced.

With all this I'm hearing about people and tie-rods going bad, I think I'll give mine a look over. Loose = bad?

mine were squeeking like a mofo when I turned
and since no grease fittings, had to replace them
(inner tie rods)

My daughter has a '94 v6 Mustang and I was backing it up the other day while turning and I noticed it made a horrible sound. You think it might be her tie rods??

Could be... Mine was intermittent for a while and only when I turned left. Then one day, turning left AND right would squeek (REALLY LOUD) so when I brought it to Ford for an oil change they told me it was the inner tie rods.
