2003 Ford Windstar 3.8L
Carfax reposrt shows 'Steering/suspension lubricated" "'Steering/suspension checked" at 61000 miles.
I thought why not get the steering, suspension, wheel bearings lubricated and create some positive maintenance karma. Went to a mechanic. He says the van may not even have grease zerks and it is pointless to grease them as you just replace the part when its broken. I didn't tell him about the Carfax report.
Van is running fine. No squeaks, no groans etc. but i am confused now. If the van doesn't have grease zerks then what about the carfax entries?
What do our experts here suggest? Should i pursue the lubing goal? I am reading some mixed opinions about if not done right then the possibility of accumulating dirt etc.
Thanks
