Title: Clipper Dodge & Clipper Chevy Drive Line
Post by: Clipper Joe on August 28, 2014, 07:19:59 PM
Hello Clipper Owners In Clipper Land,

This Is A Short Technical Post On A Small Thing That Most Of Us Have Overlooked, :-\

Have Just Lubed My Clipper (' Wilson ' ), I Have Lubed, Upper/Lower Ball Joints, All Tie-Rod & Steering Rod Ends.

There Is Also On Most Older Vans & Rvs on The Drive Line, 2 Ea. On Each End A Grease Zerk Fitting On U-Joint ( Universal Joint ) These Fittings Do Not Need Much Grease, But Are Always Over Looked.

So If You Hear A Hard Cluck When You Put Your Clipper In Forward Or Reverse  Gears, You May Want To Have Checked Out. These U-Joints Have To Be Pressed On To Drive Line, So It Is Wise To Have A Spare, In You Spare Parts Kit, Belts, Hoses Etc.

Hope This Helps, For Those Clipper Owners That Have You Work Out Sourced, Have Your Service Tech Check These For You @ Lube Time Or @ Least Yearly. :o

Remember A Little PM Helps Keep These Great RVs On The Road.

Joe
