I don't think you can stop the springs from resonating with grease. You'd
need to fill the space they occupy. Are resonating springs a problem anyway?
I think grease may quieten the sound of the springs scraping up & down the
stanchions.

Hi All,
I put grease on my forrk springs to keep them from rusting but I'm not
I put enough on to dampen the springs but the theory makes sense....atleast
as far as the grease keeping the springs from resonating.

-------------------------------------------------------I remember reading or hearing a while back that on loop frame, drum
brake front forks you are supposed to liberally coat the fork springs
with a thick grease prior to installation. Is this an old wive's tale
or is it recommended and necessary?
As I remember, the reasoning I heard was that it kept the springs from
being noisy. Is that correct? Any feedback would be appreciated.
