Front swivels
Can somebody tell me if the front swivels should contain oil or grease please? What is spec for oil/grease? Finally, were all swivels chromed as mine seem to be black and messy with little sign of anything shiney?
regards Andy :shock:
basic grease from a cartridge, swivels start off as chromed but do deteriorate overtime, moving the wheels allows a small film of grease to coat the swivels, if a lot is coming through you may need new seals. If there is no grease in the swivel housing this would suggest the need for new seals.
Hi Andy,
If you search on the forum you will find a comprehensive breakdown of all the works (with pic's) required if you need to do seals and or bearings or replace CV boot rubber.
I used it and found it excellent.
Regards,
Mike
