continuously turn the swivel using the 7/8-inch wrench placed on the heim joint to allow 
grease to penetrate the mechanism.   

 
NOTE:

  YOU MUST ROTATE THE HEIM JOINT ASSEMBLY CONTINUOUSLY 

WHILE PUSHING GREASE INTO THE FITTING.  FAILURE TO ROTATE WILL 
NOT ALLOW GREASE TO PENETRATE SWIVEL ASSEMBLY. 
 

SUSPENSION LUBRICATION

 

Lubricate the six sway bar collars on the underside of the chassis.  Place 2-3 drops of a 
good quality Teflon-based lubricant on each edge of each of the six points.  Super Lube, 
DuPont Multi-Use with Teflon or Dri-Slide are preferred lubricants.  Super Lube is 
available from BUSHTEC. 
 

NOTE:

  Do not use any type of wheel bearing or lithium grease, chain lube or WD-40 

for suspension lubrication.  These lubricants will attract dirt and, because of their 
viscosity, will not allow the suspension to operate properly. 

 

 

 

TIRE PRESSURE 

 
TOOLS REQUIRED  
Calibrated Tire Gauge 
 
Adjust 3.00x16 tires to 35 PSI cold, regardless of load.  Improper inflation will increase 
rolling resistance and decrease fuel mileage, as well as increase tire wear.  Spin-balance 
wheels annually or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.  Failure to re-balance will 
shorten tire life and result in irregular wear.
