If you have coilovers on your vehicle, it's important to keep them lubricated in order to prevent damage and ensure smooth operation. There are a few different ways to lubricate coilovers, and the best method may vary depending on the type of coilovers you have. Here are a few tips on how to lubricate coilovers:
- Use a high quality silicone based grease or oil specifically designed for suspension components. You can usually find this type of lubricant at auto parts stores.
- Apply the lubricant sparingly to avoid attracting dirt and debris which can cause clogs and damage the coilovers.
- Use a clean cloth or brush to apply the lubricant evenly over all moving parts including the piston, shaft, bushing, seals, etc.
- Wipe away any excess lubricant before reassembling the coilovers. Excess lubricant can attract dirt and debris which can cause clogs and damage the coilovers.
