I just CARFAXed a S2k and noticed that it has had its chassis lubricated. I'm not too familiar with this process, so I'm wondering how does this process work? Is there a potential flaw with the car?

 

You take lube. You put it on the chassis. It's part of recommended maint.

 

Is this like headlight fluid?

 

no, more like muffler bearing replacement....

 

LOL on the muffler bearing. My coworker and I got an x-boss so worked up on the muffler bearing recall on his vette that even after told him we were jerking his chain he still took it his mechanic.

Hmmm what does that say about what he thinks we think of him? Spoof for fun or "fake" a spoof so he drives in a dangerous car?

Hmmmm LOL

In the Navy, we used to send new guys to various places on the ship asking for "buckets of steam" and "kenifelin pins". Each shop that the new guy would go to would tell him he needed to go to another. Sometimes, the kid would be gone for an hour or so because there were so many shops on the ship (carrier). Was a good time!

 

Chassis lube is required for three things:

1) corrosion prevention
2) sqeak elimination
3) keep the frame from getting overly stiff

Remove existing lube with shop rags, clean area with crank wash, and apply fresh lube liberally with a pressure gun at 40 psi to ensure proper penetration.

I did not know that CarFax tracked essential maintenance items like this, but at least they are letting you know the status of the single most critical maintenance item you can do for the car.

Two Thumbs up CarFax!!

 

I sent a E-1 to get a Pap smear.. The LT of the battalion then sent him to the Command Masterchief to ask for permission.. I dont know where he went after that...
