Rear Springs on my 2 1/2 yr old Plus 4 squeaking like an old iron bedstead with rusty springs. I expect some squeaks and creaks etc but not that bad. Read some threads on here and based on this did the following. Remove rear panel and tool tray - I'm too old and round to get underneath laugh2 1. Duckhams silicone spray lube on all the bushes on spring ends and shocks. 2. Spray grease on the axle/spring/U-bolt assembly. 3. Graphite grease pressed into the spring leaves (on both sides) with my finger end - which took contortions that a circus performer would have been proud of laugh2

Ah silence.....success....

Well done.
I would just say that for number 3, motorcycle chain wax does the job really well.

I use Waxoyl on the springs, cheap, has good creeping qualities and works well.

Well I never, I thought creaking springs were part of the deal, I will now have to follow the example and get down and dirty but not until this wonderful weather has gone so, about late October?
