I use an aerosol white lithium grease with integrated PTFE additive. When i lube mine i use an old scrap of card as a backing so the grease only goes where i need it to. :wink:

Well, I suppose the hard rubbing (to get the polish off!) might have some effect 8) :lol: :lol:

Really happy for this thread guys, Im sick of raising my AFT and thinking ive got Jimmy Carr laughing his head off outside my van. I hate his laugh at the best of times never mind when its every time I raise the roof.

SO a session of greasing it is then but I may just leave the struts alone.

Cheers all.
