# Car Chassis Greasing
This guide provides a step-by-step procedure on how to grease car chassis and suspension components. Following these steps will help maintain the vehicle&#x27;s smooth performance and prevent excessive wear of the parts.

### Step 1: Prepare
Gather all the necessary tools and materials including a grease gun, car jack, jack stands, and the appropriate grease for your vehicle. Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.

### Step 2: Lift Vehicle
Using the car jack, lift the vehicle high enough to allow for easy access to the chassis and suspension components. Secure the vehicle with jack stands for safety.

### Step 3: Locate Fittings
Identify the grease fittings, also known as Zerk fittings, on your vehicle&#x27;s suspension and chassis components. Consult your vehicle&#x27;s manual if necessary.

### Step 4: Clean Fittings
Before applying grease, clean any dirt or debris from around the grease fittings to prevent contamination.

### Step 5: Apply Grease
Attach the grease gun&#x27;s nozzle onto the first fitting and pump grease into it until you see a slight overflow around the edges of the fitting. Repeat this process for each fitting.

### Step 6: Lower Vehicle
Once you&#x27;ve greased all the fittings, carefully remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle back to the ground using the car jack.

### Step 7: Test Drive
Take the vehicle for a short test drive to ensure that the grease is evenly distributed within the components.

## General Notes

### Grease Type
Make sure to use the correct type of grease specified for your vehicle&#x27;s chassis and suspension. Using the wrong type could cause damage.

### Grease Frequency
Refer to your vehicle&#x27;s owner manual to find out how often you should grease the chassis components, as this can vary based on the vehicle use and the operating environment.

### Disposal
Dispose of any used or excess grease in accordance with local environmental laws and regulations to avoid pollution.
