what needs to be greased??

[buknoy2002]

what needs to be greased sa car and how often dapat?

ang alam ko lang e yong bearings sa wheels.

meron pa bang iba?

[OTEP]

Madami. From door hinges to CV joints.

Greasing for bearings is called 'packing'. How often you have to repack your bearings depends on your vehicle.

Suspension components (at least of most trucks and SUV's) have grease fittings/nipples by which grease can be pushed in. Commonly these fittings (also called zerk fittings) are found on the ball joints, control arms, driveshafts, etc. Gasoline stations have grease guns specifically for this and their mechanics should have an idea where to find these zerks.

what needs to be greased? lahat ng may fittings pati bearings. how often? as long as you can afford them.

[falken]

Sa wheel bearings, everytime you go through deep floods.

yung nasa tie-rod end kailangan din may grease..

[buknoy2002]

so pag nagpunta ako sa gas station at sabihin ko pa grease e alam na nila yon? as in lahat ng dapat i grease e lalagyan nila?

[sirkosero]

alam ko package ang greasing eh... kunyari sa isang small sedan, estimate nila siguro may 8 fittings dun. tapos may package sila for 8 fittings. kung sosobra sa 8, dadagdag ka ng bayad. pero kung less than 8, same pa din ang bayad. may ibang gas station naman na per joint ang presyuhan.... usually, for a small sedan less than 300 lang...

Sa mga gasolinahan sa Q.C. prices vary from Php14-22 per fitting.

Yes, dapat alam nila iyan. Otherwise, go to another station.

[buknoy2002]

yang greasing ba e yung parang binabaril ng high pressure gun yung ilalim ngcar?

[OTEP]

Parang ganun. Service station grease guns are powered by compressed air and connected to the reservoir which is usually a drum on wheels.

OT: si fafa otep talaga, basta pagdating sa "packing" maaasahan. hehehe.

so kung normal city driving...having your wheel bearing repacked at least 1s a year is enough?

i have my fittings greased approximately 2-3 times a year...ok na ren b? =)

[vindiesel]

curious lang po ako... kasi experienced ko noong dinala ko sa isang gasolinahan yong crosswind ko at sabi papagrasa ako, sabi ng mechanic, sa mga bagong sasakyan daw ay naka "packing " nga at di nila pweding gawin yon. hinanap ng mechanic kung may zerk points at wala syang makita. meron akong nakitang parang greasing nipple malapit sa disc brake at sinabi ko sa kanya yon. well sabi nya para daw yon sa pag-be-bleed ng brake fluid.

di ako komportable doon kaya binasa ko yong manual ko at mukhang tama nga yong mechanic. sinabi din sa manual na every 15000 km pms ay inspectionin at palitan kung maari yong packing pero dapat gawin yon sa casa.

so kung lagi kang nakalublub sa baha, maapektuhan kaya yong effectiveness ng grease packing? may paraan ba na mapalitan yong grease sa packing kahit di na dalhin sa casa at di na paabutin every 15000 km?

Sad to say most newer vehicles no longer have zerks fitted to suspension components as the parts are deemed disposable already.

Repacking can be done by any competent mechanic or any good suspension shop.

[BeetOls]

*yup...mine came with throw-away type balljoints, tie rods, etc. until it was time for me to replace...those disposable ones are pretty durable kase they lasted around 8 years for me...changed suspension at around 160k kms on the odo. pero wala atang nabibiling disposable na replacement? neways, mas ok na ren yung may fittings kase you can make sure that they're sufficiently greased.

OT din
naalala ko tuloy yung kaibigan ko
Friend#1: nasan yung packing tape?
Friend#1: nasan yung packing tape?
Friend#1: nasan yung packing tape?
Friend#2: (seems irritated) NASA PACKING TOOLBOX!!!!

same thing when i inquired sa shell maya for my '98 corolla xe. it's like kung sira, papalitan lang daw.

[mcbry]

saan ba na grease yung ma recommend nyo na ok (shell, caltex or petron)?

[jim]

yup tama si Otep lahat ng may Zerks except for the brake and clutch bleed nipples. karamihan sa sedans walang Zerks kaya maririnig mo na lang na maingay yung mga ball joints, etc. pag kelangan na silang palitan hehehehehe

ako sa caltex. usually nagpapa-grease ako every after underwash.
