My technical head is letting me down today. I am sure there used to be two just of the sill on each side.

So how do I grease the bits that need greasing as my 92 Cooper took a pounding on the Suffolk Run on Sunday and it is squeeking really badly at the front now. Your help would be appreciated.

Front suspension three each side (top ball joint, bottom ball joint, top arm shaft), rear suspension one each side (radius arm shaft). Also hit the handbrake cable guides on the rear subframe, quadrants on the radius arms and levers on the brake backplates while you are at it. That's it.

Thanks mate as ever you are at hand with the info, so do I need to take the wheel off or can you get at them with full lock?

You should be able to work around the wheels without a problem.

I think there already is one about greasing isn't there?

I suppose I'd best go and check.
