What is lubricating the suspension all about?

The suspension allows the wheels of a vehicle to roll over bumps and through potholes while keeping the car in control and the passengers comfortable. Numerous parts in the suspension system move around and connect to the vehicle via joints. Common joints include ball joints and u-joints. Proper lubrication keeps moving parts moving. Some connections in the suspension will contain bushings that could benefit from lubrication as well.

Keep in mind:

If components in the suspension of a vehicle are broken or missing, lubrication will not fix the problem.
Different parts take different kinds of lube, so consult the vehicle’s manual for the manufacturers recommendation.
Some vehicles come with joints that are “permanently lubricated” from the factory. These may need to be lubricated if they exhibit symptoms of excess friction.

How it's done:

Apply grease to the zerk fittings of all the steering and suspension parts.

Our recommendation:

The manufacturer should have a certain number of miles it suggests in the owner's manual that the vehicle will travel before needing lubrication on parts of the suspension. Different joints, pivots, and bushings will need individual attention. Some parts will need more attention than others. When accessing the points in the suspension that need to be serviced, inspect surrounding parts and components that may show wear. This includes parts along the drivetrain or within the steering system. Preventative maintenance can be very straightforward with regular inspection of crucial parts.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to lubricate the suspension?

Loud squeaking from under the car when it goes over bumps
Groaning sound when turning
Suspension not moving smoothly, feels too bumpy

How important is this service?

This service is important in several ways. Without proper lubrication, the suspension will not provide a comfortable ride. If the vehicle is not going over sumps smoothly, the handling could be negatively affected. Expensive parts wear out faster with excess friction.

Mercedes-Benz SLK230 L4-2.3L Turbo - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Los Angeles, California

Ralph was very efficient, professional and communicative. When I arrived he told me exactly what he was going to do in terms of the inspection and how long it would take. On the test drive, we had a chance to talk frankly about the car and any issues he found whilst doing the inspection. Overall it was a pleasant and painless experience. I would highly recommend Ralph. Thanks!

Peter was so patient and kind and put up with my unendless barrage of questions. He gave me tons of tips on how to save money while keeping my car in top shape. He came early and finished in less than half of his estimated repair time. I can not recommend him enough!!!

Mercedes-Benz SLK230 L4-2.3L Turbo - Oil Change - Alameda, California

Luis gave me a call to let me know that he would be able to arrive early and to let me know that we could then start early or wait until the originally scheduled time, which was very accommodating of him. He was friendly, fast, and very transparent about he was doing and what other things he saw going on with the car. Great experience.
