I just installed the FR traction bar kit on my EG6. Since its a daily driver I'm looking for at least reasonable longevity. The helm joints at the end of the radius arms look rather unprotected from the elements (corrosion!), and I see no lubrication mechanism (no grease nipple). What do you guys do for lubrication and protection of the joints?

Thanks

Mark

 

bump.

 

just put some good lubricant directly on the helm joints and it will be okay.

I dont know if ProLab sell their stuff in the USA... if yes get some ProLab PL-100

And while you are importing the stuff to Holland, get sum for me too.

 

Thanks for the tip. I found a better solution: special caps to protect the helm joints, see pic below!

will those caps stand up to the articulation of the joints?

 

Of course, thats what they're designed to do! The caps consist of a metal ring with a highly pliable rubber surround.
