Lubing leaf spring pivot points

Question

Just changed all the plastic bushings out today on both axles. Lubed them up with antiseize in and out. Going to stick to my trust mixture of gear oil and grease to lube them on a regular basis. It goes in oily and dries to greasy.

Anybody else oil their spring pins?

Betcha nickel they'Re nylon not plastic. Unlubed steel to nylon will wear faster. Never-seize is not really made to be a lube. But what the heck... dry graphite is the material of choice as it embeds into the nylon.

A wise man once said; any grease is better than nothing...  I'm sort of going on that.
