Chasis Lube Question
As far as I know there are 4 points to lube under the chasis on a Super Duty. Is it possible to overlube? I noticed that when I add grease, the grease starts oozing out from the round rubber circles (it looks like they are rubber). It looks like the rubber circle expands for a second until I let off the grease gun. Is this normal?
Thanks

Not only is it normal but it's also useful. I pump new grease in until I see the run-off change color. Old grease is black and the stuff I put in (Mobil 1 Syn grease) is red. So when I see red stuff come out, I know I have displaced most of the old stuff and the boot is full of fresh grease.
