Thank you very much for your reply.
Yeah I just looked over my Gotham invoice from 2006 (4K miles since then) and saw only one pillow ball had been replaced. I guess I'll order another 4 and replace those at a later time. Still just trying to get my car back on the road. Am I looking for front to back play? Red grease? A click? Should it be extremely resistant to moving like a new one? You sell the 'Atomic Rex' Pillow balls as well don't you? Yea, I'm the main distributor for AtomicRex pillow balls in the States. I'm getting a new shipment of these pillow balls within a few days. You can order from my website (www.j-automotive.com). I also get great prices on OEM pillow balls if you only need 4 (PM me for a quote). |
What kind of grease do you use on these things? FSM says to pill it with grease to the covers. OEM pregrease looks white so white lithium maybe?

I've always received different answers to that question (even from the Mazda dealer) but I use a good bearing grease on them while others use whatever grease they have in front of them. I've even had FD's come in with pillow balls that only had the pre-grease, as you call it, on them and nothing more. Make sure you burp the dust seals of any air so they wont try to pop off.

Just curious as to how much play the things should really have. I'm replacing one right now and was under the impression that they should have some movement, but the new one doesn't seem to move much (if at all). Just curious to know what should be changed.

I'm looking at the complete $720 Powerflex kit. I have all kinds of noises coming from my 118k mile jalopy.
