Torsion bar grease
« on: November 18, 2016 - 07:30:46 PM »
Can someone tell me how much grease needs to be put into the rubber boot of the torsion bars before installing them in the car? Thanks in advance.

The FSM says to " pack the annular opening in the rear anchor completley full of Multi-Mileage Lubricant or equivalent.
I can add photos of the FSM torsion bar install if needed.

Please do when you have the chance. This is for my friends car and we're in Ohio right now figuring this install out.
