Where is the chassis lubrication point on a 2003 cavalier?
Anywhere on a moving, rotating, load-bearing or sliding assembly where a grease-fitting is located would be classified as a lubrication point. Typically, such points include ball joints, tie-rod ends, idler arms, clutch relay pivots, universal joints, etc.; but, on the vehicle you mention, the only point I listed here which applies should be the outer tie-rod ends, if they have grease fittings. Some do not. As a matter of routine service, other points which require periodic lubrication and are often overlooked include door hinges, hood hinges, hood latch, door striker, door latches, and the trunk lock. These are often treated with a spray lubricant. Additionally, that “lock de-icer and lubricant” that comes in a small tube is great stuff to use proactively to head-off problems in the winter. Hope it helps.
