Thank you, Doulop! I now have two C-4s.. my older '91 "Wild Cherry" and my newer '93 "Jaded". Like you, I have never checked any of either of their grease zerts. So many cars today have permanently greased elbows that I forgot that this was not necessarily true 30+ years ago. Thank you for the reminder.
I have the same clock in garage.. I leave the light on 24/7 ... someone told me that the led bulbs will last longer if not turned on and off... makes a great night light 😊
You are welcome. I had a few people ask about this but my book did not show anything about rear grease points. I didn’t even see any when I looked at the car.
There should be caps on the grease fittings similar to those on the brake bleeders... to prevent crap from being pushed in the fitting as you have the grease gun fitted on the zurk. Very cheap insurance policy. Good going on the cleanup!
Watch for the new grease to start coming out. This way you know the old grease is out. Check ride and recheck to make sure it hasn’t accumulated on the inside of your rim. If it’s caked on , carefully clean it off
So have to ask what did you use to clean your front control arms and everything? I need to clean mine and have watched so many videos of people using aluminum cleaner spray it on and rinse it off. Looks amazing I need to do mine
I used a wire brush. Once all the crud was off, I used a soap and water rag and went over it. That’s it! Just make sure you don’t get the wire brush on any of the rubber parts. Thanks for watching! I’m glad you like the way it looks. I was really happy with it. I was going to use Super Clean but you’re not supposed to use that on aluminum
What brakes and rotors are you using? I'm considering changing out to a set of C6 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rears. Have you thought about that? I'll need at least 18" wheels, maybe 19" wheels and that part really adds to the expense... darn.
I replaced my calipers about 11 years ago with brand new ones, but they were just stock replacements. I used Powerbrake Red Stuff brake pads. Made a massive difference in stopping. I also replaced the brake fluid line from the stock rubber one to a stainless steel, braided one. The little hose right there at the wheels. Hope this helps.
Hay. Thanks for your videos. Just wanted to let you know that you have got a follower in Slovenia, Europe! I am Ales and i own a 1991 dark red Corvette and a 1987 Wrangler JY . Both of them i have impoted fo Slovenia about 2 years ago. Have a nice day. Hope to chat with you sometimes.
@@Doulop That was quick ;) . Love my 1991 c4 too. I spotted your chanell when i was searching youtube for 1991 c4 . Now i know quite a lot ;) . will be in touch. see yaaaaaaaa ;)
Hi Kenny, ummmm, not sure without looking at my tube. It’s what my dad got me for my birthday. It’s just the standard red grease you can get at Walmart.
I question how much work you've actually done on that '91, as your service manual is far too clean! ;-) I'd also clean up the control arms before adding new grease.
Haha, I have had the car for 15 years and I’ve only had the manual for about two or three. I have never had the car in a shop. I’ve done all the work myself but a lot of the stuff I just look up on TH-cam.

That’s awesome, Terry. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the vids
Keep em coming
Thanks Gary! Trying my best!
Opps, I haven't done mine in two years and 15k, I guess I'm over do! I'm on it, long weekend coming up.
Haha!! Better get it done :)
Great information, I wasn’t aware they had those!
Hey man!! Thanks for watching! Yeah, good to know, for sure! Take care!
I went to autozone and they sell 15 kinds of grease. Which one are you supposed to you use? I don’t want to put the wrong kind in the fitting.
It’s a red Lithium all-purpose grease.
Nice video. There are also 2 fittings that need lube in the rear. One on each side.
Thanks! I expected there to be as well but my book didn’t show it so I never looked. I’ll have to do those as well. Thanks for watching and the help!
Thanks again. How about a part 2 for the rear grease points? As always, I enjoy your videos

Hey Dave, thanks. I was wondering. I may get some if I come across them. I thought you would like the clean up ;)

Oh yeah, I’ve seen it on the rims before. You are right! Thanks Mario.

That’s why I’m so iffy on what to use and yes I know not to get too close to the boots and tear them up.
Just be careful. You don’t have to get right up against the boot, though. It will look great if you just get close. At least I think so :)
Excellent
Thanks Mario!

As for rotors, I don’t remember the brand but they are drilled and slotted.

Hey Ales, that is so cool. Thanks for letting me know. Happy to hear you have a 1991 :) I appreciate you commenting. Take care!

:) that’s great! Glad you found me! Glad you are learning as well! See ya!
My 92 FSM show that you should also oil the ends of the front spring that sits on the strut.
Thanks. I had a few people tell me a few different things as well. I didn’t see that in mine but maybe it is. Who knows?
What did you use to clean your suspension parts
Looking good
???? People want to know....LOL
Haha! I used a wire brush. Once all the crud was off, I used a soap and water rag and went over it. That’s it! Thanks for watching!
Next video could be brake fluid check. Show how to bleed brakes with fresh brake fluid
Maybe someday
Are there grease points on the u-joints?
No, good question
Aren’t their more fittings in the rear of the car?
I thought there were too but that is all my owners manual showed
What kinda grease do you use
