[QUOTE="MajBach, post: 1444828, member: 27289"] Hi, folks. I have my 09 with 90,000 miles on it all apart for a good tune up. I'm servicing the rear suspension right now and wondering how you would recommend cleaning all the parts with the bearings in them and what type of grease to use. There is a lot of gunk built up on the relay arm but the sleeves move in and out freely. I want to take some varsol to the parts to clean it up but concerned about if thats the proper way to repack the bearings. Do you take the sleeves out and clean the insides with a solvent then allow to dry and repack or do you try and keep the bearings free from contaminants and just add grease to the sleeves? I was also a little surprised to read in the manual to use lithium grease. The existing grease in the bearings is reddish which would suggest wheel bearing grease. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
