Chassis Lubrication?

What is this and how is it done? What is used. I remember specifically every 6000 on my dads truck before i started changing the oil it would say on the receipt Chasis Lubrication. Every 6000 it squeaked like crazy before and then they took it in and it was fine.

Will i have to worry about this w/ the T/A? How effective is this and what causes this squeaking over bumps, in tight turns sudden stopping etc. in his Trailblazer and will it happen to my Bird? What can be done to prevent this if it can happen?

There isn't any, unless you have some aftermarket stuff.

There are steering parts that need lubrication/grease. I think theres 2 or three greasable parts. Just use a grease gun and pump some grease into them.

I don't know about your set up...some (like Honda) have sealed/permanently lubricated joints. My truck has ball joints and tie rod ends that have grease fittings on them...upper and lower ball joints for each side...two tie rod ends--one for left,one for right.

I was curious about this too, I am guessing we have all sealed stuff with our F-Bodies?

Not sure how far back the years go, but on a 2002, there aren't any greasable fittings.
Oh, sure you can go up there and start spraying crap with WD-40, if it will make you feel better

but there are no zurk fittings on factory suspension.
