I don't know if it's bad or good, but heres how I did mine. With the spring out and under no tension, I merely loosened the center bolt so the gap between the leaves grew slightly. Then I poured oil across the side of the leaves and stood it on edge for about a week. Then turn it on the other side and do the same thing. The oil saturates the spring. Then I work grease in between the leaves. Tighten up the center bolt and I'm good to go. Rides good, no squeaks, what more do I want?
