Hello,
I came across the following, that should be done but is not part of the Suzuki Service plan or MOT (in my case a 2015 FJ):
1) 4 or 5 tire swap every 6000 miles or 10000 km
2) fill the swivel housings with swivel housing grease
3) rust prevention
4) use the 4WD from time to time to check if it works and that it does not get stuck
5) check/clean/change „indoor“ air filter
I would appreciate if you could add on to this list.
Thank you!
Rainer

Filling the swivels with grease is a very bad idea especially if you're still using vacuum hubs. The cv joint needs to be well packed and so do the king pin bearings but the swivels contain the passages for the hubs and they block if they are over filled with grease.
