TR2/3/3A TR3 spring install question

Hi,

About to re-install the front springs and am wondering if the poly inserts (from TRF magic kit) should be lubricated before install. I've heard about poly swaybar bushings squeaking so it make me wonder... Any thoughts? Thanks, Bob
 
If you're referring to the spring packing pieces that fit underneath and on top of the coil spring, I think no. Didn't lube mine, there's no motion to produce a squeak, and mine is quiet.

I do have an annoying squeak that I finally traced to the bumper overrider support (the chrome tube that goes through the grille) rubbing where it goes through the grille. It took a while to find that one!
 
Thanks, yes the spring packing pieces. I'm itching to get these in, so I'll go ahead and give it a go. Thanks again.
