Lubing front spring 39 Peeekup
 

My front spring has a grease fitting in the center. There is no path for the grease to go?

It's not for grease, it's for spring lube, once greased with grease the passages will be clogged and the lube won't flow to the tips of the leaves, spring lube is about 75% light oil(atf)25% talc, and originally a bit of ground asbestos(used in a dedicated grease gun, shaken before use)

the center bolt nut has a passage, the spring leaves have a notch next to the centerbolt, the leaves have a shallow depression in the center to guide lube to the tips----grease won't flow like the thin spring lube all the way to the tips of the leaves where the lube is needed most

If you don't have properly working shocks don't lube the springs---dry springs work like friction shocks

Your spring leafs should have grooves for the lube. It was about 36 when the last of the spring leafs did not have grooves. At the same time the lube fitting was added. 35 and prior do not have lube fittings or grooves.
