When lubricating the chassis, where are the grease fittings?
 

On the 560, there are no grease fittings. What do you do to lube the chassis?
Thanks, and God Bless,

There are no grease fittings that I can think of. Grease fittings have been almost non existence on MB's and most other cars for about 30 years. Modern components are sealed and seem to last longer than the units that they replaced that were greasable.

I'm not sure about your car, but the 123 cars of that era had flush type grease fittings on the door hinges and I can't think of ANY other grease fittings on the entire vehicle.

Don't fight it. Sealed components are here to stay. In my experience, greasable components have to be greased until they wear out and then you replace them. Sealed components on the other hand, seem to last just as long or longer and when they wear out you replace them the same way. The difference is that you don't have to worry about keeping up with a messy grease gun.

If your old enough to have ever greased many fittings, this probably seems all backwards to you, but it works out fine in almost all cases.

Good luck,

That's why its a joke that these quick lube places say they change your oil and do a lube job, when they don't even spray your door hinged with wd-40. I had heard that some trucks still have grease fittings, but not cars.

I'd prefer that they keep their WD-40 to themselves.

I'd like to take my ponton into one of those fast lube places one of these days and see what they do with the 23 grease fittings on it. :) Much as I'd like to do that, I won't chance it.

Okay, the reason I asked as that I have some serious creaking coming from my front end (shot guide rods and shocks), and I will have a client riding with me a little ways in a few days, and I was looking a quick fix, like slathering the offending parts in grease. Suppose that won't work, huh.
Thanks, and God Bless,

Try some silicone spray on the rubber components. Should provide some temporary relief

You will have to replace the offending components. Usually, the rubber boots split and the joint gets contaminated.

The doors still need to be greased.

Oh yes, the messy grease gun! Whenever we get a 113 or 108 in we spend a good 30 min trying to find it or who used it last. I feel what you're saying Larry. All the hours I've spent greasing one car I could have probably replaced balljoints on 20 cars
