Coilover 'lubing'

Recommended Posts

Alreet guys,

 

Anyone got any reccomendation's of what to lube my threads with? Realised I never did it when I put them on and am about to go out and lower the rear a bit so thought Id maintain the threads while im there...lithium based grease be alright? Should I cover them up with tape or something too?

 

What do u guys do?

Lol, didn't get a reply before I went out - gave em a good clean with a toothbrush (minus the toothpaste :lol: ) and applied a thin coating of grease.

 

Suprised by how much I lowered it - N/S/R about 8-10mm and O/S/R about 15mm!!

 

Looks much better now been meaning to do it for a while, will have to go for a spin later and take some photo's on the most level surface I find! :D Probably find out it's a wonky donkey!
