Does anyone have a lubrication chart for a 1938 Sixty Special they want to share with me? My car sounds like there are a bunch of chimpanzees in the suspension when I drive. I jacked it up and lubed every fitting I could find. The shop manual says there are 21 grease fittings. I can't find 21. After lubing I don't hear as many chimpanzees but there are still some there.

While Art sends that out to you - and for whatever it may be worth - my 1962 did exactly the same thing except it sounded more like a rusty old bed in a 12 degree log cabin on Lake Placid on February 3rd.  ;D

Greasing the fittings provided temporary relief of the noise - only to recur in several days and eventually, no amount to grease would help.  The final remedy was replacement of the A frame bushings.
