Default Do you get your car chassis/suspension greased?

If you do get your car greased, how often do you do it? Thanks.

There are no grease fittings on our cars. Everything is sealed.

Keeping on track with this, what all parts needs to be replaced over the years? Like at 100k miles?

I thought everything was sealed but thought I'd ask anyway. So, we have to watch for ripped rubber boots right? Replace when ripped.

Nothing besides greasing my aftermarket BMR stuff every 3,000.

Nope, no grease fittings and dont let the stealership
charge you for undercarrage/suspension grease service...
The front bushings are hydro-rubber and will need replacing
soon enough.
The rears are also rubber OEM...

Everytime I brake my car feels like it turns (the wheel turns a little) and also over bumps. There is nothing wrong with the pads or anything and its all aligned. Do you think the bushings are worn? Its an 05 with 45k miles on it.

I was wondering really how long these bushings last. I was thinking of going poly bushings.

Definitely a worn/warped rotor or binding caliper unless you've smacked a curb really hard. I had a similar problem after hitting a curb hard and bent the tie rod. There's nothing else that could cause that problem. Brake issues or tie-rod issues. Or you need a bumpsteer kit, basically tie rod spacers.

The answer is in your sig...

Eibach Pro Kit

Unless you have a properly installed bump steer kit, you
might be having trouble with bumpsteer.....
