Our jacks each have two springs on them.
As for lubricating the shafts, seems to me I remember reading a thread some time back where the opinions were all over the map on whether or not to lube the shafts, and what to use to do it.
I have WD40, and can get some silicone spray if that is what I need.
I also have a floor jack with me I can use to push the jack up if it comes to that.
So, is there any concensus about lubing the shafts?

Over the years I have used WD40, Silicon spray, Dexron iii transmission fluid.
Silicon spray doesn't last too long. WD40 was OK but the transmission fluid lasted the best.
