Suspension and Steering Fittings Maintenance


I finally had the suspension and steering fittings greased. Previously, the steering was beginning to be sluggish. With new grease filled into the steering and suspension joints, the handling and steering is a tad smoother. The mechanic did a great job filling in the new grease into to fittings...lots of old black grease, which have hardened were pushed out from the joints.

Next up is to overhaul the leaking left front disc brake (Sumitomo - Dunlop Mk II). I already have the overhaul kit. I'll also upgrade the brake fluid from DOT3 to DOT4 spec for added safety when racing.
