I do my own oil changes and all other simple maintenance like plugs, filters, etc. and I was wondering if there are joints that need to be regularly greased. I couldn't find anything in the search feature so I assume they are sealed units, but I just want to make sure.
Thanks in advance,

 

Your car has sealed tie rod ends and ball joints. The traditional "grease job" is a thing of the past. You might want to lube the door hinges once a year.

 

there are no stupid questions, only people who don't put descriptive subject lines in their posts.

 

HAHA! Truer words were never spoken.

 

Definitely grease up your door hinges - mine now squeak like a mouse because I don't think its ever been done .

 

And tighten the screws. The doors close tighter if the screws are tight.

 

Thanks for the reply, Daniel. I figured as much but just wanted to be safe and not sorry.
And for the others, I am so sorry you had to spend the two seconds it takes to read my post. In the future I will make all humanly possible attempts to fully describe the content of my posts in the subject field. I am sick to my stomach right now thinking that someone actually clicked on one of my posts and was upset by the fact they didn't know what they were about to read. My poor, mistaken thinking was this board was supposed to be for people with questions and comments and not attitudes.
"Settle down, Beavis."

 

That's exactly waht I was wondering as well! Glad you asked!

I think they bring up a valid point...its nice to know the general theme of the thread so that you can tell whether or not you might be able to help that person. For example, I wouldn't click on a thread entitled, "How do you make an origami flamingo?" because I don't know how. I'm jealous of your internet connection speed...I have a T1 line at work, and it often takes 2 to 3 minutes to fully load one page of one thread during peak hours! The subject of the thread is more important than you may think...

 

Thank you Neptune97, many people often wonder why they get few views and no posts to a general post like 'How do you...' The reason you stated is exactly why. BTW, sarcasm doesn't work very well with certain people, because if the see the sarcastic persons name on a post, the ignore it the next time.
