wrap them in cling film and pour in old engine oil - then run them over a bumpy road for a week or so.

Would you like to try that again but in English this time?

Look where the post has come from. A little linguistic tolerance may be required here.

oi !!! there ant fook all with our grammer down ere tis those up north hwo dont understand us

sorry about the grammar and spelling, brilliant mind but a bit dislexic. And for the sake of the total ilatarate it is in Somerset West South Africa

It's nice to know South Africa has a West Country! I think it's possible to dismantle the springs by drilling out the rivets and tapping the clamps off. Then you can wire brush the leaves (blades) lubricate and reassemble by cramping up the leaves and replacing the clamps. I just bought new springs, but they're not too expensive here - not sure what parts availability would be in SA.

I washed them down with pool acid pressure washed the acid off then sprayed them with lots of q20. feels like the ride height has improved and definitely better wheel articulation. i wonder if graphite powder could be good leaf lubricant will try it
