Suspension Lubrication

[evehill]

What if any part of the suspension system requires regular greasing?

I would say not really.

You could lubricate the rubber components with some silicone spray to prevent them from drying out/cracking, and perhaps endlinks...but perhaps more important would be just powerwashing every once in a while to keep the dirt and debris off and up close inspection of the boots and what not every 3 months or so.

ball joints, but you can't grease them on our cars.

Are we talking about a stock suspension or aftermarket coils/shocks? I'm pretty sure that the stock suspension is relatively maintenance free, but don't quote me on that. You might wanna call a random Audi dealership to see what they say. Although I do remember something about the suspension in my recent 24k mile service. IDK.

Now if you have an aftermarket setup, say coilovers, then yes. My Koni's (STaSiS) came with a bottle of lubricant spray, which they say should be used every 10k miles (I THINK). So when a local shop balanced and rotated my tires recently, I had them spray down the piston rod on each shock just to be sure.
