mmgemini Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I had a thought last night, I know it hurt. You all know I add Wynns Charge to my grease I use in hub bearings, so what are your thoughts about adding some Charge into the swivels ?

Les Henson Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 You go clanking around Africa in your truck Mike, so it needs all the help it can get I guess products from the likes of Wynns is always a good idea, but the average owner probably wouldn't need it.

mmgemini Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Clanking Les.. Not so sure about that seeing the state of it now.... What do you know about 300Tdi oil pumps ? How do I get the inner wing off so I can straighten the outer wing..... It was a thought. When rallying we used Wynnes in the engine. If we lost all the oil the crank would survive so only the shells needed changing...I was thinking the same could be good for the swivels when they leak.

Bluemoon Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 is that charge for oil or something else, please tells us more and what ratio , etc, cheers Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Shouldn't leak out if the seals are in good nick. Though if Wynns Charge helps your wheel bearings then it can't hurt in the CV grease I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 is that charge for oil or something else, please tells us more and what ratio , etc, cheers Brian Just for you I'll tell the true story again. Mid 1970's I was road rallying a Hillman Imp. I was knocking front wheel bearings out every rally. That' about 200miles. I was working in the garage at Sunblest the bread people. One day the Wynns rep was in trying to sell us the rad repair stuff and generally talking. I mentioned my Imp wheel bearings. Of he went to his car and returned with a jar with some loi like stuff in it. "Mix a desert spoon of this into your favourite grease and you'll have no more bearing problems" I did and I haven't. Wynns Charge for engines. You don't need much. I would think a small syrenge in each swivel...If a group of you buy a tin it will do for you all.

mmgemini Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Les. I forgot. Drivers door catch needs setting.. Rear door needs straightening. The spare wheel bent it in the box and the door catch doesn't work properly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 nice to see some old tricks work, cheers Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range Rover Blues Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I use Lucas hub oil in mine, it has their oil stabilising additive in it. I find one shot a bit too thick, at least until it's had a beating and thinned out (then it starts to leak). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
