 Lubricating suspension cans As the title really. Not done this for years, so what's the best method (on car) and what's the best stuff to use.

Re: Lubricating suspension cans as sean said, squirt it into the cans via the entry of the connecting rods
theres a gap under the rubber shrouds
i think i,m right in saying that u only need to do the 2 front ones as the oil will pass along to the rear side of the spring compartment

Re: Lubricating suspension cans ayjay, the rear ones, if your suspension is set up as it should be, nose down and tail up. But if yours is set up so that it's difficult to see over the bonnet and the fog light digs a furrow across a camping field, best go for the front end... ken ayjay wrote: as sean said, squirt it into the cans via the entry of the connecting rods

Re: Lubricating suspension cans Also worth jacking up and rotating cans if possible

Re: Lubricating suspension cans I am sure you should be able to rotate the cans without jacking the car up.I stand to be corrected .
