On dismantling we found that the rear ends of the rear springs were slightly dry. We do not consider the bumper a very severe test for the lubrication of road springs. More Woodhead springs having bijur lubrication to the leaves have been ordered. We are about to test Woodhead springs on the Peregrine bumper and some are on order for Bensport.
