grey beard Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 No, no, a thousand times NO! Shock rubbers are made to do their job with benefit of no external lubrication. Generally, any lubrication on rubber - other than silicone - makes it swell up and deform - the last thing any of us want to happen to our shock reubbers. Just make sure you have a good flat washer on each side and torque 'em up gutt und tight. JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
