dat sucks. did u know u can prolong the life of those springs if u lube it once a year? I'm still on the original spring from over 15yrs ago on my house.
just get some lighter motor oil and drip lightly across the entire top of the spring. you don't need to rub it or anything. just apply and it will naturally spread on its own. also good idea to lube the bearings lightly. just enough is good, don't want oil dripping on ur Z. just do it once a year.
