If you have a truck, SUV or older car, chances are your vehicle has grease chassis fittings that need regular maintenance.  Having them lubricated can give you a smoother, quieter ride and prevent more expensive repairs down the road. 

It’s especially important on parts that have to move a lot, especially when you are carrying heavy loads.  Components such as ball joints, U-joints, tie rod ends and control arm bushings need fresh lubricants which prevent metal rubbing against metal, friction, heat and early wear.  

When you bring your vehicle in to us to have your chassis lubricated, you’ll likely notice that your steering will feel more responsive, just like it used to.  Plus, you’ll get a smoother, quieter ride, with little or no squeaking when going over bumps. Another benefit is your vehicle will keep its alignment better, and your ride will generally feel more comfortable.

Chassis lubrication is recommended for many vehicles about every 6,000-8,000 miles/10,000-13,000 km.  One easy way to think of it is that you should have it done about the same time you get an oil change.  After all, it’s kind of like an oil change for your chassis. It’s especially important if you drive on rough surfaces, in harsh weather or carry heavy loads.

If you drive a newer car, you probably don’t need this service, since the latest automobiles have sealed suspension components that are designed to not require lubrication.  

But if your vehicle has a suspension that needs lubricating, consider it a good investment in your vehicle’s safety, repair costs and your comfort.
