I have had a front strut seize up,I stripped it down and cleaned it
and have replaced it, I also lubricated it with LHM. My question to
anyone who has any knowledge of this suspension is-- Is it likely to
seize up again and do I need a new strut.
Thanks
George

George,
Lubrication properties of LHM are a bit marginal and I feel that a good quality grease or silicone grease is orobably a better alternative.
As far as if you will need a new strut, I think only you will be able to judge that particularly if you start blowing return lines off or notice a high volume of LHM coming back down the return lines.
You could be lucky & get away with it...you may also win the lottery; about same odds I would suggest.
