I want to ensure my Prowler is lubricated properly and the front end is tidy before Winter. What should I check? Are there points to be sure to Lube? I am assuming there are fittings on everything that needs lubricated? Including all ball joints? I'll put the car in the air and check. Also, do you recommend lithium grease? Just did the Stabil. Thanks, John |

You cannot grease the OEM ball joints. No fitting. Rare Parts have fittings. |

Upper fronts and lower rears are greasable, fittings are under the plastic prowler logo caps. As Ed said, the lower front are not. Might be a good time to check your transaxle oil level as well. Upper 1/2" socket extension plug at the rear of the torque tube. |

Hi All, Performed a search and did not find an answer, so throwing the question out here. Is there a specific grease (brand/type) that most use to grease the ball joints ? Like John, I am going to ensure the Prowler is fully lubricated once I take her out of the car bag in the spring... Oil and filter were done before putting her away as well as Stabil in the tank.. Thanks |

Lithium soap-based grease or Lithium Complex (newer) is the most common type used in Chrysler products of Prowler era. It's still used in many cars today. It's Taboo to mix different types of grease. So, stay with a grease that's common to that era, i.e. don't mix Moly or synthetic grease with Lithium. A lithium base grease that meets NLGI, #2, GC-LB, is fine for Prowler ball joints. #2 designates thickness of grease, GC is industry standard for wheel bearings and LB is standard for chassis grease. You can also use a LB only rated grease for chassis ball joints, but not for wheel bearing. So, #2 GC-LB is a good all-purpose grease. It's available everywhere. (Valvoline, Shell, Mobile, Super Tech). My personnel experience with Red n Tacky #2, which is popular, is not very good. Oil separates from base product very easily. Not a good thing IMHO. |
