If the springs have become a little more compliant, the bottoming out problem may well be made worse, so perhaps a little more clearance will be required. How are your shocks? Nice limber springs will show up sub standard shocks like nothing else.

The greased springs are not really a permanant fix, but more a diagnostic procedure, I recomended a lighter lube, like oil, because it is intended to be temporary.

If you believe that spring stiction has been causing you grief, then you need to devise a rectification strategy. The simplest one is to simply replace the worn or missing rubbing blocks that the factory put there.

Sadly, i went to get some of these for my 200B wagon's springs, only to find that they have never been listed as a spare part, so i will need to pull a sample from my spare springs & go to a major spring place & see if they have a generic replacement.

If the part of the spring leaf that they rub against is worn & rough from being rubbed by the lower leaf, they will wear quickly, so smooth it out, or buy a lot of rubbing blocks
