I use graphite spray. graphite doesn't attract or hold dirt or dust. it's very slippery when both sides are coated, works well under extreme pressure and lasts quite a while.
@@dakumilife -- i don't have a brand preference, though i'm sure some might have more product in the formulation than others. i use jig a loo graphite extreme. works on my triumph spitfire transverse rear spring perfectly. as well i used it as a coating for the exhaust manifold. takes a couple years for it to slowly wear away, but a quick respray and the manifold looks brand new again.
Some Leafs have plastic sliders on the tips, you put it on the contact points between the leafs. Some leafs touch the whole length that means the whole thing
So far this channel has answered every question even forums can’t answer. What transmission are you running and is anything done to it? I like the crisp shifts
@@BadAssEngineering yeah people have done that around here, but it washes off from the salt pretty quickly (it acts as an abrasive or something, rubs anything you put on it right off). Idkfam
Copy and paste from Eaton Detroit Spring, Inc website (established in 1937) Starting in the mid 50’s the steel used to make springs began to change over to SAE 5160 which does not like petroleum based products, grease/oil/etc. Petroleum based products deteriorate the steel causing premature failure. A great way to demonstrate this is to look at the front springs on a heavy duty truck that is leaning in the front. There is a 99% chance that the spring on the low side is coated in oil and or grease. Prior to the change the type steel used was not effected by much of anything. In fact, the center section of the spring was designed so the spring could be greased through the centerbolt and the grease would be spread to each leaf. This is one of the few times you should ignore what the manual is telling you.

Thank you for making this straight to the point without all the influencer bs
I never even knew springs could be libricated thanx man!
I've never seen this done or would have thought to do it. Interesting. I'll have to give it a try.

Any one in particular?

I like the dog he's well behaved.
Nice one! Looks easier than I thought. Thanks for sharing man
Good looking truck.
Does lubricant also reduce resistance like a parabolic spring?
Did you only apply to the tip of the leaf or the entirety of the leaf?

Good video. Thanks
Does this apply if you live in the Rust Belt of America? There's so much rust and crap down there I don't think grease is going to help
Showering the whole underside of the truck on used motor oil seems like a good idea

Does this make the suspension softer, more supple?
Not really, just quieter
Thanks for the helpful video. 🙂
Remember that God loves you! 🙂
that doggo is the marketing manager?😍
