What do you use to lube your stabilizer jacks?

WD-40 is a lousy lubricant. If you do a little research, you will see what I am talking about. Here's a link to an article in Popular Mechanics to get you started. Google will give you plenty of places to read as well.

Bruce - I am aware of WD-40's limitations and I appreciate the link - interesting read. FWIW, I have WD-40 as well as several other lubricants in my garage and trailer and even in my truck. I also know the limitations and usage of each, thank you.

My question to you was to find out where you were coming from in your retort that stated her levelling jacks were probably getting rusty "because she used WD-40 instead of a lubricant".

Many would see that one line reply as dismissive and as an attack. I could also see your reply to me in a similar fashion but I will not bite on your bait. ;)

Suffice it to say that even in your words you agree that it is a lubricant (even if lousy) and as for inhibiting rust ... well I know a thing or two about rust myself and there is not a lot that you can do to inhibit rust AND lubricate AND avoid attracting dust all at the same time.

You have a great day. :) :) :)
