  One thing I've never done, and frankly don't know how to do, is clean and lubricate the suspension springs.  What do you do?  Just wire brush them and squirt from an oil can around them?


If there is a neat & tidy way to do this - I have never found it.  I keep an old paint brush to spread oil all over them and then let them drip for 3 or 4 days.

If it has been a long while but you're not going to take them apart -- you might start with a dosing of PBlaster and let that soak a few days before going with the heavier oil.
