Glad you clarified what kind of joint i almost shot that in my knee. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So the lubricant acts as a rubber conditioner and stops the rubber from cracking? Allowing the grease to remain in the rubber boot?
Will this work on my knees?
LOL, I hear ya! Thanks for watching my friend, have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from all of us here at Sweet Project Cars.
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks. I'll start doing this on my next tear down and rebuild.
Yes, old schoolers back home sprayed their knees with WD40 or grease up with cayenne pepper and emu oil mixture. They swore by this stuff.
Bro😂 that was good😂

lol.... good one..love your sense of humor
Be Careful with HIV Transmission. Or at least get a Prescription of P.R.E.P.
I guess if you have a grab stick, you can pick them up, and drop them in boiling water, and let it sun dry 😊.
Back in the 80's. I started out working in a shop doing oil changes. Eventually, moving up to brakes, exhaust, transmission, etc.
We used to lube ALL of the suspension bushings. I've noticed recently. If you get an oil change and lube, today. THESE specific items are neglected!!!
Mechanics today don't use anti seize on brake caliper bolts!!!
Attention to detail has died!!!
Agreed! Thank you for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I would hardly need anti seize if they didnt fcking impact the bolts back on.
Jfc just use a bit driver to snug it up and just use like a 16 or 24" torque wrench at like 80 or 100.
Me and buddy tried to help a friend break the nuts loose on her focus and neither of us could get them to budge. Used pb blaster, pipe on the bar, buddy tried jumping on it, everything except a torch now that I think about it.
The shop snapped the studs getting em off 😑
At over $100 an hour, here in Australia, you wouldn't want them paying too much attention to detail, although they are good at adding that extra time (attention to detail) to your bill, even when they clearly haven't done it, I have caught them out many times.
Well y'all would love to hate me, I'm 34 so not an old timer yet either.
When I do a break job I descale the whole caliper bracket, the bolts, the slide bolts, if they're F'd I replace them, and continue to descale any other mating surface. The clips are greased on both sides, pad's ears get touched, the mating surfaces between the caliper and the pads, the slide bolts but clearly not the threads, I'll force you to get your rotors turned or replaced if they're shite, I replace rubber lines when they're shite, I'll make up new brake line when needed, I only use copper-nickel brake line, I will apply anti seize to threads, I will also charge you no less than $100 per wheel well for labor alone. Depending on the vehicle & If you're willing to pay, I'll recondition your calipers too. I don't do hourly, I'll bid you out like a job & if you don't like it tell you to go to someone who does it like it's work as opposed to something they care to take Pride in. I own my own tools for whatever task I take on from mechanical to construction trades. I make pretty good money & mostly I would say it's because I take pride in my work. I would certainly advocate that you get what you pay for. Want a 15 minute pad change? I wouldn't, but I Can do that too.. When you go to a shop with overhead and employees, they want turnover. Think about what your money pays for when You're paying.
I bring my tools to the job.
When you pay me, it's the growth of my personal business, bills, and kids that benefit directly. When you pay a large shop, there's a lot of overhead.
@@NewsOfTheRebellionGood on you HOWEVER the thing you’re missing is in the 70s, 80, and 90s shops did all this STANDARD. And they didn’t charge $100/tire minimum either. It was all just part of a standard break job.
The problem, Libs brainwashing hamburger flippers to believe their hamburger flipping deserves a “livable wage”. So now EVERYONE thinks they should be making $20-$30/hr to do basically nothing which has SIGNIFICANTLY drove up the cost of all labor. The solution from shops, companies, etc is to cut corners elsewhere.
So that’s where we are at today.
Keep doing quality work but vote so that your quality work is valued.
I had a really bad creaking/squeaking sound when turning and when going over bumps in my 99 Accord. I did this to the upper and lower ball joints and it worked! Thank you!
Nice work! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great day Marky98. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Thats only a temporary "fix" I'd get it replaced, chances are it's also worn out
@@adrianmora7033 yea that Jerry Rigging
They need to be replaced, and then start doing this process on the new parts for them to last longer, Preventive maintenance
You should replace them.... not just use a thin cleaner... these caned lubricants are not made for this kind of use. Replace your balljoints
Been using syringe to grease the joints on my Ranger for over 20 years, since there are no zerk fittings from the factory. Seems I gotta do it twice a year because the joints start squeaking so loudly. Only problem is the outer rubber is starting to show it's age and cracking...might have to actually replace them someday. But with only 331K miles, they can't be worn out yet...
Fred use this amzn.to/32iGCYK on the boots so you will then never have to replace the joints
I knew exactly the product you were gonna recommend before I clicked the link lol.
@@SweetProjectCars Hey SPC, should add that to a video sometime. I bought 303 because of you and you keep it real. definitely need a video on what to hit with the 303 yknow?
I like this syringe presentation and will try it to injects lubricant on the inside. For the outside of the joint, the best I can suggest is to brush apply a little transmission seal protector that uses a polymer to recondition seals. To fix a squeak on a 2003 GMC Envoy, I used Lucas Transmission Fix and alternately 303 Aerospace Protectant it for 5 + years now. The Lucas is as thick as grease; the 303 is thin but it works well too. Rationale is that plastic polymers chemically meld into the rubber to keep them young. Am happy with the solution.
@@SweetProjectCars : I have....but only for the last 2 or 3 years. I think they were too far gone when I started using it.
That's actually great way to expand joint lifespan, the only thing I would like to highlight - do not use the best possible oil/grease, but pick the one suitable for the materials the joint is build. Mostly this black rubber is NBR or SBR which are not resistant to synthetic oils that mostly you'll find in wd40 or any other lube oil. Instead there are special ptfe white greases that do not destroy the rubber.
Can you mention the brand or name please 🙏

Anal lube.🤣
I don’t know wat u injecting with ur syringe with that lube probly a brown eye or a black eye make sure u don’t tear that rubber
Why not use a grease gun and needle? A high pressure grease will outperform penetrating oil. CV joints and transaxles need special grease. Sorry, don't follow video advice.
Amazon to the rescue. These syringes are absolutely impossible to find anywhere locally. And anytime I asked anyone where to find one, they looked at me like I was planning on shooting meth up my arm lol.
LOL, thanks for watching and sharing, hope you have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Yeah same here. I´m having problem to buy these at local pharmacies. When I ask for 5 small syringies with thin needle they don ´t believe me that i need ´em to to lube ball joints :)
model shops and pharmacists, otherwise amazon and ebay.
I only do this if the joint doesn't have a grease zerk. Grease is still the better option when available and regrease annually keeping rubber boots clean then spraying with a rubber treatment to keep them like new. If there is no grease zerk this absolutely works to help keeps those joints going.
We do this once, then all regular greasing (preventative maintenance) as usual. Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
6:27 but he said you have to grease as normal afterward. Am I missing something?
I do this regularly but now that I stop doing it my car start shaking and all windows are sweating, I think my car is on withdrawal?
LOL, thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike & team
So this is where all those needles on the street in my neighborhood are coming from! : )
LOL, thanks for watching, have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the team at Sweet Project Cars.
ahahahahaa
I wouldn’t do this to CV boots because they will begin to sling grease as the tiny hole you made becomes larger. For non greasable ball joints it does help. Try slipping the needle under the edge of the boot if possible to prevent putting a hole in it
Mike, thank you for all the great tips and the effort that you put into helping us! May happiness follow you wherever you go friend. God bless you and yours, have a Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year( even though it feels like it’s going to be 1984 at this rate 😉 )

I don’t know if this would be good to put spray from a can where grease should be
Hello Bill, as stated in the video, this process is a once and done then you go about your regular pm as necessary. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Nice, but why do you use a super thin spray lubricant instead of a bearing grease? Is it because of the thickness and not cooperating with the syringe? If so, possibly mix 50/50 think lubricant with bearing grease to make it thin enough to suck into the syringe.
This method is a once and done, you still do your regular pm with the grease. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
That's awesome brother thankyou for sharing !! Much love everybody !
Ok April fools joke🤳《☆》It's December 23, 2021◇¿. Hmmm Slick50 has spray lube eh?🖖🤓🙏☮
You know it, it's this amzn.to/3p9g2u6 ! Thank you for watching and for the comment BDOG, hope you have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
When I started doing this on my w123 Mercedes I used a pink needle (the largest inner diameter) and a 10 ml syringe. This was big enough to suck upp weapon grease (jelly like) and fill upp the joint. You don't need to worry about the needle hole...just repeat procedure at least every second year. This has worked fine for me. 😎 I got this idea about 15 years ago since I worked in health care
Thank you for watching and sharing Claes, have a great evening and Happy New Year. mad Mike the hammer SPC
What in Tardation? The grease he's using is WD40 tier because he probably doesnt know large gauge needles exist. Its not grease and if it where grease its the wrong kind. Even the proper grease lowers wear and tear but doesnt eliminate it. On a factory ball joint the tolerances are so tight the grease doesnt enter that equation until you got some miles on it to increase the life of the ball joint with tighter tolerance. Usually things like this fail way after the boot does and imo thats where you start fighting a losing battle with a grease gun and a fitting to see how long you can keep your original ball joint. I'll keep the tip in the back of my pocket of "this is how you can rig a grease fitting without 1" but they where eliminated in sound mind and I will probably just go with the conventional method of Driving ball joints to death and simply replacing them. As its not a situation of lack of lube or dirt invasion or rust that really kills them. Its more old, age with improvements in metallurgy. Im getting a boat ton of miles off my ball joints watching them rot.
Wich oil to use ?
Through trial and error I learned that the recommended syringes work well with WD-40 White Lithium grease spray. Using the straw, spray a decent amount into medium to large ziplock baggie and allow to settle. After foam turns into liquid mix it around a bit, cut small corner and push liquid out into back of syringe. Boom. The spray grease works really great too
Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great weekend my friend. mad Mike
WD40 is NOT a lube or oil, it´s a CLEANER!
you should read the announcements... it´s name is: Water Displacement!
wait why not pull the grease fitting out put the oil in then replace the grease fitting????
It might be useful to also rub some glycerin or polypropylene glycol on the outside of the rubber boot to keep it supple and prevent cracks. Good inside and outside.
I spray all rubber parts w 303 magic!
Silicone grease or oil is the ideal substance for rubber
Aerospace 303 works really well
They aren't rubber, they are Nitrile. 😎
@@DeepSouthernTX good point
Everyone knows you'll end up drying it out faster if you did something like that....
We've done this for years and years, not sure what you are talking about Karen. As stated in the video, this process is a once and done then you continue with your regularly scheduled pm. Thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I remember when all these points of lubrication actually had grease fittings!

Isn’t your liquid going to be forced out with future regular greasings?
How many times do you repeat this?
So what does it do? And what if my rubber boot is cracked should I just change them or do this method ?
How did you choose the Slick50 product? Not saying it’s wrong but there’s literally hundreds if not thousands of products to pick from.

Great video and no argument any lubrication is better then none ..But a big but here due to hard winters and road salt in the area I live in. boot failure is a much bigger issue then balljoint failure what are your thoughts or tips to protect the boots themselves

Nothing will prevent eventual wear, and weather or not this actually works, it won’t repair already worn parts.
I don’t think that this will work but I haven’t tried it
It's meant to PREVENT your ball joints from going bad, so when you replace it, then do this process and you'll never have to replace it again. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I recently quieted the first ball joint squeaks on factory ball joints with no zirc fittings by chucking a ball inflation needle in my grease gun. Worked great and it's whatever heavy grease you like. Didn't do the silicone hole seal but the grease is thick enough to stay in there for a while.
Thanks for watching christopher, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Genius
"chucking a ball inflation needle in my grease gun" ... It just screwed on the grease gun end (with the hose off)? And, no problems getting to all areas regarding the room? Or, it went on the hose end? My situation is that I have not got under the car yet and checked for play. I may do that soon because I have to fix a fog light housing (but I am trying to decide what new LEDs to buy before I do that. No sense getting under there twice.) This can be a temporary fix for the noise if anything is worn. EDIT Oh, and it managed to poke through the rubber? If so, I guess you used Permatex, also? TY for the post. :-)
EDIT I just looked for a grease gun to buy. I guess you _had_ to use the hose?
EDIT Wow, bunch of edits. There are grease gun needles available.
@@SweetProjectCars Hey. :-) I have no clunking so I guess it is a ball joint, (squeaking). I can push down on the suspension and no squeaking of any kind. If I am lucky there will be nothing that needs to be replaced. (122,300 miles.) TY for the video.
Cool, but how does a low enough viscosity lubricant to pass through that hypodermic needle possess the extreme pressure properties needed in a ball joint? Sorry but I'm skeptical.
As stated in the video, this is a "once & done" then continue with your regularly scheduled pm. Thanks for watching. mad Mike & team
@@SweetProjectCars Any possibility of random lubricants being incompatible with the grease that is currently in there, and same grease to follow? Thanks for explaining.

Ball joints are filled with grease not fluid
As stated in the video, you do this once and done, then continue with your regular pm. Thanks for watching Eric. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Excellent idea, thanks for that.
Out of our 3 oldish cars the only one with any grease nipples is the Prado, and that's only got a greasable propshaft (though these days am grateful for any small mercies), and i do miss having proper grease nipples for the rest of the steering and suspension joints, even trucks over here in the UK have few if any grease nipples.
Years ago when i started truck driving many trucks were fitted with 'autolube', this was a large pot of heavy oil or grease with dozens of pipes leading from it to all steering and suspension joints of the vehicle, as you drove along small quantities of lube were pumped into the joints at intervals.
As with all good ideas things lasted too long so, those were done away with.
I'm lucky, I've just brought a Merc 813 with Autolube fitted 😉🙏
And its dumb that stock usually arent greasable to last longer like the old days especially with these people oh we need all chargers to be the same to cut e waste we need to do this to stop waste etc you stupid fucks make shit that lasts a long ass time, but no we got mr elon musk and everyone also like lets make electric cars, thats dumb af batteries, are all only made in china because of how much batteries polute the world so tell me how batteries are better than gas and oil lubed cars

Not sure what you mean about rain, if you are getting water in your boot, you have bigger problems my friend, that's the purpose of the boot to keep water and dirt out. Thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I have been using grease needles on grease guns for decades and I routinely inject grease through the shields on bearings. It is a discouraged practice and I was told the reason is that it would cause bearing failure. Well it don't, it works real well though in a shop I can see where they do not want the liability of such practices and it can be time consuming to drill the holes in the bearing shields. The mainstream just replaces parts but in my experience I have gotten quite a few new parts that did not have adequate grease or it was dried out.
We are with you on that, Gary! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
You are correct, Grease NOT OIL

I'm thinking his reasoning is that the joint will float just a bit in the liquid lube, where as grease is stiff and once wore off the metal to metal contact it won't help much unless the vehicle is used in a very warm climate where the grease becomes somewhat fluid. Being saturated in liquid lube may help as he purposes.
No thin oil will help time and wear and tear replacement and regular maintenance which only 5%of people take proper care of all there shit
if the ball joint or tie rod end started creeking, is it recommended to replace it or grease it?
I was recently told I needed to redo (and have redone) control arms, sways and a variety of other suspension items. Now I need struts, and I’d imagine they’re gonna tell me ball joints soon enough. I’ll be doing this for sure!!

This person was just asking a question if you can’t be nothing but nasty then go swallow a load you loudmouth chode.
Did the lubrication work? Or did you pay to have the replacement work done?
Did you ever consider injecting with AT-205 ?? Wouldn't that restore full elasticity and never dry out??

Makes more sense to make a larger hole so the proper grease can be used, then seal it with a little silicone. Nothing in a spray can has that much lubricating properties.

@@SweetProjectCarswhat about the compatibility of the grease mixing with the lubricant? Mixing two different greases can be troublesome enough, let alone mixing a grease and a lubricant, wouldn't it just turned to soup?

Great idea,but no matter how much you grease or lubricate the rubber boots by injecting lube the rubber degrades over time from the outside in,so eventually those rubber boots will need replacing.
We treat the boots and all other rubber on our vehicles with this amzn.to/2WQg0sB they will last years and years longer. Thanks for watching and sharing, have a fantastic day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars yeah that 303 protectant is good stuff,at-205 is even better for refurbishment of rubber. But either product can only extend the life of rubber components for so long and will eventually need replacing.
Yep yáll mix that hardening Silicone based product with slick 50... Probably work best below the Mason Dixon line where imaginations run wild & they don't put all that friggin crap on the roads like they do here...

I don't know where you are from but where I'm from if you go to a pharmacy and ask for syringes and don't use insulin then you are automatically an I drug user, Walmart will give you the third degree line of questioning. Nobody stops to think that there is more than one use for syringes.

You can buy an 18 guage needle at the the auto parts near you that plugs into your grease gun, use the right grease before joints are dry, works great.

Great video! Back in the day I had a 93 Altima and it would blow through cv boots every two years like clockwork. I looked for silicone boots but no one made them. THIS process would have been the perfect solution. GENIUS!
Thank you very much PW, we truly appreciate the view and comment, hope you have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from all of us here at Sweet Project Cars.
the grease is for the steel bsll joint. Your boots do not fail because of a lack of grease...
so how is injecting grease going to stop the boots wearing out?
I don’t get it. The reason cv joints go bad is because the boots crack or tear and the lubricant leaks out. Otherwise, they never go bad anyway. The lubricant inside the boots does not “wear out”. Don’t see how this “hack” would make any difference whatsoever on the longevity of the boots.
@@dantheman1337use silicon spray on rubber boots to rejuvenate and to keep them healthy.

This absolutely works. I did this on a creaky balljoint on a 996 using standard WD40 White Lithium Grease. Creaking stopped and didnt return for another 3 years. Crazy hack!
Nice work! Thank you for watching and sharing your sweeeet results, have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike
Synthetic gear oil is better. WD-40 WILL ruined the rubber.... It will make the rubber soft and gummy... Gear oil!
Not sure where you got wd40 from, we didn't use that in this process. Thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Solid advice. I do something similar: instead of a syringe with a fine liquid lube I use my trusty old steel oil can filled with 80W90 gear oil, poke a small hole in boots and pump some in. Works beautifully. Do it twice a year or with each oil change, whichever comes first.
Every 3 months if there is already evidence of significant wear, especially on ball joints. Fact: aquired a 2002 Gr Marquis 4 years ago with only 35 000 miles (yeah, I am totally blessed). Lower left ball joint was noisy. Been doing above religiously every 3 months. 40 000 miles later lower left ball joint is still ok.
Thank you for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Or you could replace joint and not have to mess with needles, lube and glue.
@@CarnivoreBum The joints this is being used on are not in need of replacing. The entire point is to prevent having to replace them in the future.
@@CarnivoreBum Lol it's in the control arm assembly a lot of the time and very easy to replace. Boot always likes to tear, it's like who is sitting here saying oh no I didn't grease my ball joint last week. For preventative maintenance though I can understand, but if there's a nice tear in the ball joint replace it.
@@artv4nd3l4y prevention is better than cure. Yes the point is prevention & this saves time, money & waste.
If you take it a step further to keep the rubber supple as well, you won’t have torn rubber either.

Der Thank you very much my friend have a merry Christmas and a fantastic new year from everyone at Sweet project cars
🤔 I do need to get some free needles and syringes from da damn government after all . lol . Great video !!! I had a ball joint break on a 2002 Mercury Marquis n my driveway because the ball joint didn't have any grease fittings on it allowing it to become worn out . Worst pt of it I'd it to a local repair shop THREE TIMES but they couldn't figure out y it was making a squeaky sound . It has a type off neoprene plastic the metal ball rotates inside . This is what through me of I thought it was just rubber squeaking ?

Ive used syringes from farm stores, like rural king, to do this, but the appropriate grease is super hard to push through the small needles. Grease gun needles are a little big IMO. I also use them with the point of the needles snipped off to relybe ratchets. Way easier to get in the spring hole and pawls.
just warm the grease up first flows a lot better 🙂

Just because you stopped the bj knocking filling it with grease, won't fix it's lack of performance if the joint is already worn and loose.

In the past I've tried a syringe to grease joints....out here on the "Left Coast" (literally), it's impossible to buy any syringe with a needle due to State law/rules & regulations, unless you have a medical RX for it. I've wound up peeling up the skirt if possible on mostly CV boots, after loosening the metal clamps & adding the thickest "Radio Shack " grey tube "Duralube/molybendium NASA used/approved wgrey tube wonder grease, & as much as I can jam in. CV joint "black grease" is great, for 1-2 years max imho, before it crusts up + centrifugal force forces it to spin & collect in the outside of the CV joints.
&sing a much thinner viscosity grease in parrallel with stock/OEM thick grease gives you 200%-500% more protection as shown in studies....I wouldn't recommend us8ng Slick 50 in all applications as 1st choice, however ANY LIGHT OIL IS BETTER THAN NOTHING!! Also, definitely try & put any needle syringe hole as close to vertical on any joint as gravity sucks & that way the injected grease will fall down from the top & coat the part before falling to the bottom. I use as much extra grease as I can fit in on every joint + after sealing any hole, "wetting" the rubber cap or joint cover with the light grease helps keep the rubber flexible & helps prevent gracking even better than 303 for rubber that has to bend & flex. I also use RS wonder grease to lubricate the top & bottom rubbing zones v. metal when using urethane bushing. Helps keep any wear or fray on the urethane down. Urethane bushings are the highest performance bushings + sometimes joints & boot covers for sport oriented ins5alls. Approximately 20% stiffer than rubber, but they creak like heck.
FYI ALL serious RC racers use a Slick 50 type light lubricating oil on their (normally) Ceramic wheel bear8ng sets that spin @ 35k rpm +. Optional Ceramic wheel/tranny RC car sets normally cost from $300-$1500 & are a must have for any serious racer. If it's good enough for tiny cars.....😊.
Minus the syringe issue there are 2 genius hacks in your video. Using flexible rubber caulking on a cracked CV joint, U joint or ? would save hundreds to $1000's as a quick fix. & "self lubricating U joints, aren't depending on heat & dirt etc. Manufacturers just build in a level of petroleum oil into the rubber & hipe it never cracks. The consumer is always responsible for installati9n costs IF the my break & you're lucky to get a free new one. Read your parts warranty!
A voice activated Go Pro is genius as well. Y haven't I seen one?
D*mn, I wish I'd thought 9f your channel before you, however your fixes & product ideas are far bey9nd merely detailing, preservation. i know you've found & made better mixes but 303 remains my staple for rubber & plastic + now tires.
*n any State I wouldn't carry filled needle syringes in your car. Out here 1 needle syringe is a misdemeanor. Police hate anything that might prick them during a search.
I don't even want to think about the liabiliity if someone broke 8nto your car & was stupid enough to inject Oil/Slick 50 into their body. Guarantee they/their Estate would figure out a way to sue you for GBH + negligence. Better to keep it in your work shop.
FYI "Slip Boots" & all other easy torn CV boot & joint f8xes have been outlawed in most Western States for years. Much more dangerous than a leaking torn CV joint boot for some reason. Keep up the great tips!
Bic first off we did not say anything about carrying around syringes inside your car and as far as getting syringes to do this job I’m sure you know somebody in another state that can get them for you and ship them to you if you cannot buy them online secondly we love 303 and this video is not about rubbery or plastic protection this is about lubricating the metal parts inside the ball joint thirdly if someone was dumb enough to carry filled syringe in their car they deserve what they have coming to them. Working on cars in any capacity takes a bit of common sense and smarts and I am sure there are a few out there they do not carry these two traits and they should stay as far away from working on a car or anything else including trying to open a loaf of bread by removing the tie wrap. Have a fantastic Christmas and a superior new year from everyone at Sweet project cars.
@@SweetProjectCars 🤣AMEN BROTHER!!! LOL!!! 👍👍
Is this a joke? I live in California, the government will literally give you needles in order to shoot up drugs. Look anywhere, you get them for free.
You can buy the syringe all day long, a little google research will go a long way.
Hey Left Coaster! Just tell your local govt that you are a homeless junkies and they’ll give you all the syringes you want!
Why are you using the slick 50 instead of grease? I'm assuming that You're expecting the viscosity of the two to mix and become the perfect lubricant?
We use both, leakyjeep, as stated in the video, this is on top of your regular pm my friend. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Can you sub Aerospace 303 instead of Slick?? I’m spraying all rubber boots now with 303 now yearly. Thanks 🙏
This is not for the rubber boots, this is for the metal to metal ball joint inside the rubber boot. Thank you for watching, have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the team here at Sweet Project Cars.
Any reason not to inject the grease? none of my joints have grease nipples, all closed system. Better to use the lube than grease?
This is a once and done, then do your usual pm, John. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Great technique. Would you recommend this for U-joints? I noticed the U-joints on my 4x4 have no grease nipple but I imagine I might be able to stick a needle through each of the 4 small rubber boots. I can't seem to find Slick 50 1-Lube available in Canada. Any recommended alternatives? Thanks again.
Hello Rob this works great for you joints and as far as the slick 50 in Canada your best bet is to find someone in the US that will buy a can of it for you and ship it to you hope this helps thanks Mad mike The Hammer we project cars
They are supposed to be greased [not oiled]. I guess next time my car needs a oil change Ill just throw 5 quarts of grease in there since they are the same.
