I would like to have opinions on whether or not to grease the bolts that hold the lower control arms. I thought if they were coated with a light film of lithium that they would be less apt to "freeze up" -- or would that be bad because of attracting dirt etc? thanks, Cap

If you have stock rubber bushings, there is no way to use grease fittings. When you tighten them down, the inner sleeve is essentially locked to the bracket. If you want to keep the bolts from rusting in there, coat them with grease, antiseize, or whatever.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
