I wonder if I should be lubricating or greasing my leaf springs on my Minors and if anybody else treats them or just leaves them alone?
I did read about wrapping them by sealing lubricant into the springs which has got me thinking, should I do something with mine.

Re: leaf spring preservation
Only lubricate if the ends of the spring leaves have not worn into the underside of the spring leaf above.
Lubrication of the springs will make them flex more and the end of the leaf can dig into the worn leaf above so breaking the spring.
