Default Re: Greasing

there are 2 reasons to raise vehicle 1 lifting the axle will take the weight off the thrust race and allow it to take grease correctly 2 raising the vehicle will take any side load off the upper and lower bushes ensuring that they are fully lubed not just on one side also [instructions from avon meritor worlds largest and longest manufacturer of beam and solid type axles ] They also recommend rotating from lock to lock while lubing
