If so what and how/where to inject? The opening is on the back side of the swivel ball. On yours, it's probably a 19mm hex plug. Turn the front wheels as far away as possible from the side you want to check. Remove the plug and push the grease collected in the hole away. You want your grease level inside the swivel ball to just reach the bottom of the fill hole. A complete fill from dry is 700 or 800 grams. | ||
