When I had new springs put on the 5th/W Some of you guys talked

about (wet bolts) is that a bolt you can grease? if so that's what they

put on.

You will need to experiment with how much weight to remove from each spring. The goal is to see grease flow from both ends but depending on how much weight is hanging it may only come out one side.

Let the tires hang when greasing.

If you had to ask, that means you haven't greased them yet. Do it often, there are no seals to keep the grease in.
