Lubrication Notes
1
Spring Hanger
Use a lithium based grease with
specification API NLGI No. 2. When
lubricating the left and right sides of
the front springs, lift the axle off of
the floor, suspend the frame with
axle stands and lower the axle.The
spring bushings are now in the
position where grease can be added
to the contact surfaces.
NOTE
The rock guard will have to be removed (if
equipped).
NOTE
Always grease a Mack front axle with the
wheels on the ground.
NOTE
To grease non-Mack axles, they are
typically greased with the wheels on the
ground. Consult with the axle
manufacturer for the latest
recommendation.

maintenance interval.
NOTE
See Manufactures Specifications for
specific grease. Adjust according to the
specific slack adjuster manufacturing
specifications.

make sure the inner seal does not purge
into the brake drum and onto the brake
