look and see how mutch is important to do regular maintenance and service of the bottom shock bearing on the uni-trac link on a kdx.this part you will see :ohmy: came of a part lot i bought on ebay..(this is not my linkage!!!)seat back and enjoy.
While they might not be all that bad...I'd guess that MOST bottom shock bearings are toast.
I used to take my linkage apart 3-4 times a year for maintenance...and I still had to replace that bearing each time.
...until I started using a good grease. Well...a REAL good grease (parasyn 70). Now called hydrosyn 70 if I recall correctly what jeff (farmerj) told me...just last week.
