Hi guys. My car finally hit the 50k mark and i'd like to get all her hinges brought back to spec. What all can I lube and what type of lube do you guys use/prefer? I was thinking of using White Lithium Grease. Is there anything in the suspension/chassis componets that I could grease as well?

white grease works, but some of them dry out in like a paste, and it gets messy.

at the dealerships we usually had a clear spray grease.

really the locks and hinges are pretty low stress, so just about any lubricant works better than no lubricant, but some are messier than others!

nothing on the suspension/chassis that needs lube, although its a good idea to look at all the ball joint and steering rack boots.

I use dry lubricate on the soft seals like windows, sunroof and door rubber seals. good thing about dry lube is they don't attract dust.

for door hinges and suspension stuff, I use HD ball bearing synthetic grease

Awesome thanks for the info guys, how is the sunroof serviced? Is there a port for the grease or do you just paste the grease over the slider track?

just wipe the old stuff out with some old t shirt and put on new grease, then run the sunroof couple of times, reapply if needed
