Whenever the subject of lubricating Series leaf springs arises from time to time, the general consensus of opinion seems to be that, although oiling them undoubtedly improves the ride, the downside is the problem of oil and dirt acting as grinding paste. ISTR somebody suggesting graphite powder a while back i.e. dry lubricant. Where would you buy such stuff? TIA Alan (springs getting stiffer due to lack of rain)
G'day,
Lack of rain in the UK??? (stereotypical view of UK weather - chuckle).
I got some graphite from a locksmith's who use the stuff to charge punters a fortune when their car door locks seize up.
Have you got that bottom PTO yet?
