Squeeky Springs
Hope this is not too far off topic...
The leaf springs on my boat trailer squeek something terrible. They are monoleaf springs on a rectangular tube axle. I have tried spraying some WD-40 into the bushings and around mounting plates and that quiets them for about a day, then the squeeks are back. Any ideas on what I can use to lube them up that will last?
Thanks
Pat
P.S. Since the trailer has aluminum wheels and carries a 70 mph boat, maybe it qualifies as Hot Rod related after all...
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
