I had my swivel oil replaced with grease. I might be a bit paranoid but I thick they didnt put enough grease in the swivel housing.
The ball feels dry. Since its not leaking before the replacement can I just add Royal Purple gear oil in the swivel housing?

 

20 pumps per side with your manual grease gun every 6 months is all you need.
You can add a few ouces of gear lube if you want, but for the last 30,000 miles that is all I do, grease every 6 months.

 

Thanks Spike fro the quick reply, which bring me to my next question.
I will have the truck serviced for lubrication.
I am assuming that they havent serviced a Disco before.
Where are the spots that need to be lubricated?
Also any type of grease will do right?
Thanks

 

The only spots that need attention are the u-joints, nothing else needs anything other than being checked, like the front and rear diffs and the t-case fluid levels checked.
Grease the u-joints at every oil change.

 

Saw this link.

Is this the same procedure to what should be done to the D1?

 

Swivel Oil..

Can sombody elaborate on what and where this is???
Is it the Ball on inboard side of the Hub on the front wheels??


Thanks alot for that link..
I would have done it all wrong..
I worked on a Wheat farm and had to grease the implements and tractor every day..
The guy who oned the farm was very insistant that I only put 2 pumps every fitting every day, or I would blow the seals..

I would have just put in enough to push out a little of the black stuff, and not all of it if I hadnt seen this link..
Thanks again..
This forum is a great resource,

Only trick is.. Read every Thread!!

 

Yes it is the big shiny ball looking thingy on the inboard side on the front wheels.
There is a square nut on the top front of it, 1/2"? open end wrench to remove it.
Some have a drain plug at the bottom, dont worry about this if you have one.
The swivel ***** were supposed to be filled with gear lube, but it leaked, so they went with a gear lube/grease mixture, then all grease.
Use the same grease that you use on everything else in your swivel *****.

 

Rover has long since changed their recommondation on swivel oil suggesting you use their new grease swivel grease, 1 packet per side for better wear protection and little or no leaking.
