Shark Grease?
Another newbie "shark owner wannabe" question. I never hear you owners discussing (or see on any of the "tips" pages) anything about greasing the 928. Are there no grease fittings on things like the Torque Tube? This is something I do to my cars pretty often, so I'm just curious.
Thanks,
Wayne

newberry, the car doesnt have universals, if you wanna grease something remove the CV joints clean them replace boots and repack with fresh CV grease, also repack the front wheel bearings

So how is the Torque tube lubricated?

"So how is the Torque tube lubricated?"
Only when it squeeks and vibrates - it takes a fair bit of that green grease, preferably as a stack of hundreds ($$, that is!).
The prop shaft in the torque tube runs in sealed bearings, as does practically everything else except the front wheel bearings ( and CV's as mentioned).
