Greasing Anti-Roll Bar Endlinks: Should the wheels be hanging?

Hello everyone. I've got to re-grease my anti-roll bar endlinks and was wondering if the wheels should be hanging when I do so.

It doesn't matter for the swaybar. Only for the LCA's

And don't forget to lube the centerlinks also.

Thanks for the quick reply Thump_rrr. If can get my fanny out of bed early enough tomorrow, I plan on doing at least the rear of the car. As for the LCA's, I have BMR and positioned the fittings in such a way that didn't require I take them apart.

Go very gently on the LCA's with the grease gun. I prefer to disassemble and hand lubricate with Energy Suspension FOrmula 5 Prelube.

A grease gun can create pressures in excess of 2000 psi which can split the bushings. It's not like the old balljoints of the past which you just fill them with lube till the rubber begins to bulge.

A fair amount of that stuff from Energy Supsension was applied when the parts were installed back in late April/early May. Do you think they are ok? I crawled under the car for a look and they seemed ok, no noises of any kind either.
