Chassis lube points

[magothy1]

Might be on the wrong forum here, looking for a link to show me grease lube points on an '03 4x2 quad cab.

Ran a search on "chassis lubrication" and couldn't find what I need. Thanks for the help.

Nothing to lube on your chassis. 4x4s have tie rod ends that need greasing, but that's it.

I agree with MacHaggis, but as long as we're on the subject I do have a suggestion. I've found on older vehicles that the area where the door hinges attach to the body has a nasty tendency to form rust. I think water gets trapped in there when you open the door in the rain.



When I bought my truck I liberally coated all the door hinges with white lithium grease in an aerosol can. I repeated the process once about a year ago. No rust. Doors are quiet and work as good as the day I bought the truck.



White lithium grease is great stuff. Sticks like glue, repels water, and keeps assemblies lubricated. I now use it much more than I use WD-40.

Thanks for that help, I took it in today to get the alignment reset, it had a little pull to the right. They told me there were no grease fittings on the newer stuff.

I see MacHaggis and rbattelle have the same year truck,

I might be begging more info down the line.

Thanks for the help. If you get this way I'll give you some shrimp by way of thanks.
