Lubrication of the Knuckle Pin, Dana Spicer Axles

cen mm 33.05.000

Caution: Use regulated pressure when lubricating the knuckle assemblies, otherwise damage could result to the knuckle caps.

Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brakes, and chock the wheels. When lubricating upper and lower knuckle assemblies, do not raise the front axle. Wipe the fittings clean, then apply multipurpose chassis grease, NLGI Grade 1 (6% 12-hydroxy lithium stearate grease) or NLGI Grade 2 (8% 12-hydroxy lithium stearate grease), until new grease is seen at the junctions of the axle beam and knuckles. See Fig.. Knuckle pins without grease fittings are permanently lubricated.
