Default Re: How to grease leaf springs?

I have the exact same tool that Henry's Lady's Man uses. I used it to grease the front springs in my Fordor about a week ago and it made quite a bit of difference. The springs actually moved when jumping up and down on the bumper. This was in preparation to adding modern shocks in the front. The car handles a lot better now. I just used some greasy grease that I used to grease the rest of the car. I know this will become a maintenance thing. I jacked up the car under the frame rails to help separate the leaves.
