Great video, about to grease my 73 bus for the first time, and needed a sanity check to confirm it's really that simple.

Good video. Your axles and steering arms look so clean and new whilst mine have some surface rust. Is it a good idea to wire brush off and then wipe over some spent engine oil? Will all VW have the 8 grease points up front. Mine is a 66 KG and could only find 4? Chris

CTKG Hi Chris, Your KG might be a ball joint front end, so you may not have link pins to grease. Some original ball joints have grease nipples on them, where aftermarket ones don't. Wire brushing the ends of dirty grease nipples is a good idea indeed! The only reason my beam and frond end set up is so clean is because I've recently had to replace the front beam due to rust : ) Hope this helps! Cheers, Ricky

With regards to the surface rust on the spindles etc, brushing them off and oiling them lightly wouldn't hurt! : )

Is this the same as Lithium Grease? I can't seem to find Mineral Chassis Grease in the U.K

I’m sure lithium grease would be fine, I wonder what the UK shops recommend?

Late response here, but lots of people on thesamba recommend using lithium grease for VW front suspension, so you are good to go (or more so anyone who sees this comment years later is good to go)

always use wood between jack and vehicle, mini grease guns are junk.
