Lubing my U/joints
Last year I had the steering u/j joint replaced at the same time as the steering rack.It now works as well as from the factory.
To keep it this way I want to lubricate the u/j. But what with and how? Thanks |

I have only done mine once but I put a liberal application of ATF over the UJ's and put a tray underneath to catch the excess, I then wiped off the excess with a rag after about half an hour of soaking.

I've not done it myself on the Steering UJ but would it be possible to tap a hole for a zirk fitting?

I know Mhuk bought one from me to fit to his car and the one he took off he covered in ATF and it was fine afterwards, that's why I used ATF on mine. |

I learnt this the hard way. Early Imp kingpins had them - they required attention every 5K miles - and lasted at least 50K. Later ones were 'sealed for life', had no nipples and (obviously) required no greasing. They lasted 15K if you were lucky! Regards, John.

My 1991 945 has ujs which have a plug removable with an Allen key. Take out the plug and screw in a grease nipples and job done. Put the plug back in afterwards.
These are all original parts and have never needed replacement. Ian F |
