Yes . . . when looking at the pictures awhile ago, I too noticed the rust around the ends on the front springs. Then, it was forgotten. Except for exercise runs around the residential circle, that vehicle is not actually driven much. We pulled off the rear drums and found the previous owner had so much grease in there that the shoes were even covered in the stuff. Many of the fittings look to be over-filled with grease. Actually, when acquired, two old time grease guns came with the deal. Except for checking the basic fluids and cleaning the spark plugs, I have done no other maintenance on that car. With that said, what is the procedure to lubricate that front spring?
