Default Wd-40

I just went offloading and cleaned the underbody. Should I spray Wd-40 on the joints,shocks,axles, and front steering ?

WD 40 is not a lubricant although it is often mistaken for one. The WD stands for water displacement. It was developed to dry out electrical parts for the military. If you are looking to lube things up go with a quality suspension lube or good, old fashioned, grease. Good Luck

Fluid Film, it doesn't dry out and is safe on metal, plastic, rubber and electrical (battery terminals, cables). Also great for rustproofing because it's made with lanolin. Only 2 sprays needed in a garage are PB Blaster and Fluid Film

I spray WD-40 under my chassis in the winter time after every wash. I use a hand pump garden sprayer and walk around getting as much of the body/suspension as I can. Only rust is my crappy e-autogrille bumpers.
