How many and where are the grease points on my new TJ (R,04)?

My clutch is "creaking" a bit, also. I could have it serviced under the
warranty, but don't want to leave it for a day, if it's something I can take
care of in a few minutes. Suggestions?

AND, as always, thanks in advance for your advice.

-Fred

 

from what I've seen, the creaking is a sign of the hydraulics going bad, I
would bring it to the dealership to make sure.

Track bar ball joint (at frame), Pitman arm balljoint, 2 tierod/steering
knuckle balljoints, draglink to tierod balljoint, 2 upper balljoints on
steering knuckles. That's all I can think of at the moment. Just crawl under
there and look for zerks.

Is the clutch pedal creaking or does it sound like it's inside the
bellhousing?

Wow! I've learned a new vocabulary word: zerk ( a grease fitting invented
by Oscar Zerk arounf 1923); and that there are a lot more zerks than I
thought. I love this newsgroup.

I really appriciate it!

Thanks.

Ps. The clutch creaking seems to between the pedal area and the
bellhousing. - Thx., Fred
