I was always under the impression that fourth gens don't need chassis lubes because we have a sealed chassis.

I think it involves lubricating ball joints, sway bar bushings, tie rod ends, etc.
usually once a year is enough.
F-bodys with factory ball joints and tie rod ends don't need greasing because they are sealed.
Fbodys with aftermarket ball joints and tie rod ends do require greasing.1993 Camaro 3.4L A4 many mods comin for 2004<br /><br />\"The last thing I wanted was to get in a fight in Jackson, Mississippi on a Saturday night\" -
Oh, um, my entire suspension is aftermarket. Haven't had a chassis lube since the day I bought the car, to my knowledge. Doh!Comment

I know both my hotchkis LCA's have grease fittings.. should probably take it in for a lube job if its all aftermarket or you'll start cracking seals.00\' firebird v6 5spd<br />201rwhp ---- 230 rwtq<br />\"Everyday I grow stronger...and further from you.\"<br />WARNING: Do not take any of my comments seriously unless they are technical in nature and then only at your own riskComment

servicable joints should be lubed with chassis grease regularly. AT LEAST at first install.
also a good idea to use silicone-based spray lube to lube where the rubber control arm bushings rub the chassis. helps avoid noise there. DO NOT use petroleum based spray lube on control arm bushings. oil eats rubber.ASE Master, L1, X1, C1.
