    yea just put a bunch of grease on the springs so they don't vibrate.

    I got a tube of Mystic grease from autozone and put about half a tube in each side. The shop manuel says something like 14grams per spring I think.

    14 grams wouldn't be very much. I hope it's a small tube you are talking about

    I'm pretty sure the sevice manual said 14grams on the springs and some on the bushings. I just squeezed about half a tube onto each leg assembly and installed. I didn't bust out the digi to weigh up some grease

    Mystic JT6 Grease this was the stuff I used

    yeah I just used all purpose grease and put a generous amount on....



    its not under heat, not under supreme friction so any grease will work
