Coilover Care

[Tercel]

What kind of tips does everyone have for keeping their coilovers in top condition?
Anti-seize on the threads seems pretty important. Anything else?

keep the threads greased and keep them as clean as you can. thats about all you can do. lubricating the pillowball on the top mount is a good idea too, stops it going rusty.

Coating the threads and coils with waxoil after having the set up and cleaned works best for me.

Many owners suggest using ACF50 on the springs to aid longevity. Alternatively, normal Lithium grease works well.

Excellent, thanks for the advice. Does the pillowblock ever need to be opened up to re-grease the inside?

Nope, the pillowball is seal unit, so it doesn't need to be grease up.
