Oiling springs I just put good rebuilt shocks on the front of my car and then oiled the spring with oil from the crankcase. A friend questioned my choice of oil. I thought I read that here on fordbarn but now I can't find it. Did I just screw up?

Drive on and enjoy your car, I say. The only downside to using a wet lubricant is that dirt will stick to it. I have fitted covers to the springs on my ost used cars. |

Re: Oiling springs If a person is running without shocks , it is probably best not to oil the springs or it will bounce real bad .

Re: Oiling springs Hoogha,
With the car supported with jack stands under the frame, wheels off, and a floor jack under the front end, lower the front end as far as the shocks will allow. With the weight off the front end, the spring will relax and easy to squirt your favorite lube between the leaves. This is also the best time to grease king pins and shackles. Same technique works for the rear. JB |
