Default Re: Rear Spring

Norm, your springs look good from what can be seen, but the most important thing is to clean up the burrs and wear marks between the leaves. After paint but before assembly, slather fifth wheel grease between the leaves. Use gloves, that stuff is sticky and waterproof! It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

Kurt's mentioning the center bolt lube point shouldn't be thought of as a primary lube point, as any lube pumped in at that point will never reach where it is needed most, at the ends of the leaves.
