Re: (Inkarnata)

I didn't do anything to them last winter, and I left them spun all the way down. In the spring I just sprayed off the threads above the spring collar with PBlaster and water to clear out dirt, and then spun them up, applied some of the lube that came with my Koni's, and spun them back down. I could easily move them too.
Plus, the boot that covers the bumpstop and top of the shock should sink down enough to cover most of the threads (if you leave them spun all the way down in the winter)
If you want to be a wuss like Wendell and raise your car (J/K!!
) then you can do something like he did, or just clean them off really good and apply some kind of lube.
