I know it has been reported here before, but the front bar will freeze. After about a year on the truck (7,000 miles or so), mine was damn near completely frozen. The grease inside was pretty much a solid.

I took it off, cleaned out all the Hotchkis grease, lubed with some Mobil 1 grease, and it glides like butter now.

 

Do you mean on the bushings(frame mounted)? Something I will have to watch; wonder what causes it. You wouldn't think that the kidnof grease they use would unless it is drying up.

 

Thanks for the heads up...I will check later. 20k on mine.

 

Yup.
