Grease Fitting - Hotchkis Front Swaybar

zefaulter · 05-14-2015, 07:31 AM

bought a used swaybar with broken Grease Fitting. Looking to see if I can get it replaced. What I need is the size and maybe a link to buy one. Appreciate the help

I could get one of these but I dont know if the size I need is included:

from my experience ive never had to re-grease my bushings after using white lithium grease.

even my 11yr old stillens haven't squeaked on my G since install.. bushings are in good shape.

Problem with mine is now I have a hole in the bracket. Grease oosing out.
White lithium grease? Does that get washed out with water?

Bring the bracket down to autozone, Get them to fit a grease nipple on it.

^you've probably only put 2000 miles in 11 years though.

And I don't grease my bushings either, used crappy regular mechanics grease. No problem. Used white lithium grease on my buddy's car, no problems yet

put a screw on it with a nut and tighten down the nut to jam it against the bracket. lithium grease will not wash out that easily.
