This weekend I cleaned and greased the front suspension. Since getting the car in December, I have only covered about 300 miles in it (total now approx 16,600). When I got the car it was pretty clean and rust free undeneath, but the front suspension was rather grimey. After cleaning, I followed the greasing method on the GoMog site and lifted the damper plates (using a jack and a metal rod), to enable the grease to exit under the plates, thus lubing the steering at that point. It appears that the damper plates had never been lifted, they were pretty dry underneath. After I completed the job, I went out for a drive. The difference in the steering was markedly noticeable, with a much less heavy feel. For those who do there own maintenance, if you haven't lifted the damper plates before, it's really simple and after greasing, you get immediate results.
