Show c. ........................... ........ . You Auto Know I That, in addition to the vis- T ! f ihle and external parts of the t I car which need attention parts f which are marked with grease- i i cups, grease-gun connections j ? and the like there are also a ? ? number of other places which i I should be watched, particularly t f as these are out of sight and i I may therefore be easily for- ; t gotten. One of the most impor- i i tant of these is t he "universal j ! joint," where the load is very heavy and practically continu- J I ous. I Most cars are so constructed I that the housings which cover f t this joint may be filled with i I heavy oil and then left alone f J for an indefinite period, depend- j ing upon the average mileage of ! i the car. But this oil, like other i ! lubricants, thins out in time i and also becomes clogged with f ? dust and particles of metal I f from the working parts. Care f I should therefore be taken to i f see that it is changed regularly, I' for damage to the universal j f joint means a considerable ex- ? i pense and loss of time for re- f 1 pairs.
