i noticed this car has loads of little level sensors, and arms with what looks like plastic or hard rubber ball and socket joints at each end.
The joints look pretty dry and dirty.
As the sensors they attach to look fairly fragile and expensive, should they be greased?
Not sure if they are plastic shrouded or actually hard rubber sockets so I was thinking give them a clean at the the open section, with a brush; and then give them a spray with silicone lubricant?
As they are exposed when I paint the callipers.
Or are they best left alone?
