Does any of the suspension components have lube points ?
example:

 

NO lubrication grease fittings on the RX original equipment suspension components.
I have not seen grease fittings on any of the Japanese or German vehicles I have owned over the last 30 some years.
There may be some aftermarket suspension ball joints with a grease fitting, but I have not seen them.
My 1995 Ford Explorer had some grease fittings, but that was an old design based on a pickup truck.

You may want to use some spray lithium grease on the hinges and latches for the doors, hood and hatch.

 

thanks
car is getting brake work, I can ask them to spray silicone or use lithium grease on where applicable like bushings, BJ, boots right ?

 

Sure. Just don't any grease on the brake pad surfaces or rotor surfaces.

 

its always possible a part was replaced with aftermarket parts that have greaseable joints. so ask them to take a peek. tie rods, ball joints, sway bar links all have ball joints that could be a candidate.

 

I've never heard of this being done. Would be a new one for me. Don't see why one would, perhaps if the bushings were noisy, but that is probably indicative of another problem.

 

I agree that spraying silicone on those rubber parts will not do anything to reduce noise and will get washed away very quickly. The shop will probably laugh behind your back at such a suggestion.

 

 

ya - look at that old crusty bushing that probably needs replaced. guy just wants clicks on his video so he can get paid. like I said, indicative of another problem.

 

Scotty Kilmer's not dead?!?? Geez, I am positive I heard that he was, like a few years ago.

 

> guy just wants clicks

TBH with his following i think he's looooong past that
