HI GUYS N GALS..........IM NEW 2 THIS SITE. THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON MY 94 VMAX WAS TOTALLY LOCKED UP DUE 2 LACK OF MAINTAINENCE ON MY PART I PRIMARILY USE IT AS A BACKUP SLED AS I USUALLY RIDE A 08 VENTURE LITE. MY QUESTION IS.......HAS ANY1 OUT THERE ADDED GREASE ZERKS TO THE TUBULAR PART OF THE FRAME THE STRUT PASSES THRU? IM TALIKN BOUT THE PART BELOW THE SPRING N ABOVE WHERE IT EXITS B4 GOIN 2 THE SKI/ IM GONNA TRY IT JUST SO THE STRUT GETS MORE LUBRICATION. AND DEFINATELY TEAR THIS THING APART EVERY SPRING N LUBE UP THE FRONT END B4 MY WIFE KICKS MY A$$ FOR HAVIN 2 SPEND A SMALL FORTUNE 2 CURE MY LAZINESS.

Hi Jim and welcome to V.V. ! I have added zerks to all the joints on a couple sleds and it is hard to get enough threads for the zerks in some spots where the material is thin. Takeing the joints apart and cleaning and greasing them even every other year works well.

I ADDED THE ZERKS TO THE TUBE..........GREASED IT UP AND THE STRUTS GLIDE REAL SMOOTH THRU THEM. WISH WE HAD SNOW HERE IN THE CHICAGO AREA SO I COULD TAKE IT OUT 4 A RIDE AND SEE HOW IT WORKS....OH WELL CANT HAVE EVERYTHING. PROBABLY GET SNOW IN JULY THE WAY THIS GOOFY WEATHER HERE IS GOIN
