DRIVE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINTS

Your vehicle has constant velocity universal joints. Peri-

odic lubrication of these joints is not required. However,

the jointboots should be inspected for external leakageor

damage when othermaintenance isperformed. Ifleakage

or damage is evident, the universal joint boot and grease

should be replaced immediately.

Continued operation could result in failure of the univer-

sal joint due to water and dirt contamination of the

grease. This would require complete replacement of the

joint assembly.

BODY LUBRICATION

Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as

seat tracks,doors, liftgate,sliding doors and hood hinges,

should be lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy

operation and to protect against rust and wear. Prior to

the application of any lubricant, the parts concerned

should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit; after

lubricating excess oil and grease should be removed.

Particular attention should also be given to hood latching

components toensure proper function. When performing

other underhood services, the hood latch, release mecha-

nism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.

The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a

year, preferably in the Fall and Spring. Apply a small

amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mopart Lock

Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES

The rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield

should be cleanedperiodically witha spongeor softcloth

and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove accu-

mulations of salt or road film.

Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods

may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use

washer fluidwhen using the wipers toremove salt or dirt

from a dry windshield.
