All of the pivot points on your standard suspension system have
been fitted with anti-friction bearing materials which do not require
routine lubrication. When otherwise servicing the unit, these pivot
points may be lubricated if you so desire. If your trailer has been
fitted with the Heavy Duty Attaching Parts Kit, you should
lubricate periodically to ensure long component life.
