#1: Adding grease nipples to rear arm needle bearings Author: MUHAMED, Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2014 8:20 am ---- I was wondering how to protect and lubricate rear bearings.
Just found this great guide.
I would like to fit greasing points to my Peugeot 206.

#3: Re: Adding grease nipples to rear arm needle bearings Author: MUHAMED, Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:03 am ---- Grease nipples are excellent idea. I believe that mostly water that is coming inside bearings and due to corrosion the axles can be prematurely work out. So to install grease nipples you don't even need to disassemble rear arms.
It can be done easily. Twice a year just lubricate them. Simple and dirty solution.
Can you post a link of motorcycle shocks how to be installed ?
Seems interesting mod too.

You'll just end up filling the whole trailing arm with grease. If you really are desperate to stop wear just put loads of grease on the bearings and strip the axle down every couple of years.
