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?</blockquote>

<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
