Default Re: Sanity check on lubing springs in place

Don't take the springs apart.

> Have someone rock the car side-to-side and spray the springs on both sides with SAE 10 oil. Do this a few times after driving the car;

> Buy a set of spring covers and saturate the felt pads with 140 gear oil. Install the pads, and annually replenish the gear oil.

An immediate ride improvement can be had by reducing the rear tire pressures to 28 psig, and the front tire pressures to 30 psig.
