Servicing Umi rotojoints?
I recently installed UMI's adj phb and lca's with rotojoints on my ws6. There wasnt anything on the instructions that said how often the roto joints should be greased and how often the delrin bushings should be replaced. So how often do you reccomend these?

We properly tension and then grease the Roto-Joints during initial assembly. After installing you should put one pump of Synco Super Lube/Mobil 1 Synthetic/Your Preferred Premium Chassis Grease in each zerk. There is no need to over grease. Standard driving conditions warrant a half pump or so in each zerk during routine maintenance, much like greasing a tie rod end.
As for the Delrin, the initial tension on the Roto-Joint should last for a few years. If they loosen or get noisy, you can put 1/4 turn on the tensioner. We have some cars with original Roto-Joints and proper lubrication which have never needed additional tensioning.
Let me know if you have add'l questions.
thanks
