for the last few months I have noticed a fairy loud squeak from the front end
when the front suspension is exercised, for example, one wheel hitting the
incline of my driveway. It is like a gate with a rusty hing being moved to
and fro. My Morgan is a '71 +8 with 180,00 miles, and the one-shot front
suspension lubricating tubes were plugged off a few years ago. I grease the
front suspension about every 1,000 miles, which doesn't help, and it is not
the sort of noise I would expect from the sliding pillars-more like
chassis-frame interfaces creaking.
Speaking of greasing the sliding pillars, should I use chassis or
wheel-bearing grease, and should the weight be on the wheels, or on
jack-stands, with the wheels dangling, and the rebound springs compressed?
