Other Body Mechanisms
The following body mechanisms should be inspected
and, if necessary, all pivot and sliding contact areas of
these components should be lubricated with the lubricant
specified as follows:
Smooth White Body Lubricant - Such as Mopar Spray
White Lube:
• Hood hinge
• D/ lid hinge
• Fuel door hinge
• Lock cylinders
• Parking brake mechanism
• Trunk latches
• Ash tray
Points That Should Not Be Lubricated
There are many points that should not be lubricated;
some because they are permanently lubricated, some
because lubricants will be detrimental to the operating
characteristics, and some because lubricants will cause
component failures.
In particular, do not lubricate rubber bushings, since this
not only will cause them to fail, but will destroy their
necessary frictional characteristics.
Parts that should not be lubricated are as follows:
• Generator bearings
• Drive belt
• Accessory drive belt idler pulley
• Idler arm assembly
• Front wheel bearing
