It's been 2 seasons since the trailing arms were rebuilt (Patrick M/S) which included re-fitting the pivot hardware. Last summer I'd get a random "knock" which drove me nuts trying to find. Finally, at the end of the season, *both* trailing arms started doing it regularly, which cleared up the "wtf" part.
I've never lubed any part of the trailing arm pivots - is this necessary, and if so, how and with what??? |

I added grease fittings to the housing and filled it up with Moly. You should remove the arms before drilling. I think PP sells some special grease but again the arms have to be removed to use it. I think the fitting is the best way.
