Now I've got your attention!.....as a birthday treat I've been under the old girl, putting nipples in the front beam where they were missing. Can anybody give me an idea of how much grease a beam takes ? Just pumped at least half a tin into the top left hand nipple and nowts come out yet.....was off to get a new tin, but think I might need 2.
I can't quote an actual amount but I found it's a lot more than expected. If the nipples were missing it's fair to expect it hadn't been greased for a while, just keep pumping it in 'till it squeezes out! Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk
As meltman says it takes more than you expect Make sure you do it with the front wheels off the floor.
Would like to think that the beam would have been greased at service....however I think I'll get a couple of tubs !
Saw some on the beach in Cyprus...well the wife saw them and sent me to go and have a look....they were like top hat's!
Nipples i don't remember seeing any on mine apart from the centre one Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
There’s 5 in total Top and bottom tube near the inner side of the beam towers on both sides And the central one for the steering swivel pin
My beam has been narrowed so will it still have them? Sorry i don't have a picture from the front. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
An awful lot of grease goes into the front beam. Keep pumping until new stuff comes out of the suspension arm bushes.
It should still have them Get underneath and follow the beam tubes to the chassis rails and you should see them.
It must have them, or the suspension would seize up/wear out. Have a look at the outer ends of the tubes.
