Hey All,

Hope as always everyone is doing fantastic and keeping healthy!

Greasing kingpins tonight, right side has a nipple on top and sealed on the bottom, left side is completely sealed. I had a complete front suspension off a donor car that is shot but I took the nipple off that one and put it onto the top of the left side and filled it as much as possible. That in itself was an ordeal!
Did some of these like newer cars come as a sealed for life item?

Packed as much in there as possible in the hopes it'll work its way down but looking at a cut away they should be done from top and bottom.

Stumped!

Hi Gav.

Normally the grease passes arround the top bush then enters the top of the spiral chanel in the shift but also passes through it and works its way back up the spiral from the bottom.
