2000 Chevy S-10 HOW DO YOU GREASE THE suspention?

The 2000 Chevy S-10 doesn't have grease fittings on its suspension components like ball joints and tie rod ends. These are sealed units designed for the life of the vehicle. If you need to lubricate anything suspension-related, it's likely NOT grease.

What *might* need lubrication are:

* Leaf spring shackles (if equipped): Some S-10s had leaf springs, and the shackles connecting the springs to the frame *might* have grease fittings. Inspect carefully; they're usually located on the bolts connecting the shackle to the frame and/or spring. If present, use a high-quality molybdenum disulfide grease.

* Stabilizer bar bushings/links: These *can* wear and squeak, but they don't usually have grease fittings. Replacement is generally the solution if they're bad.

In short: Unless you see visible grease fittings on your S-10's suspension, you shouldn't be trying to grease it. If you're experiencing suspension noises or problems, it's best to have a mechanic diagnose the issue rather than attempting to force grease into components not designed for it. Doing so could damage the parts.
