Lube for air jacks?
Does anyone know the proper lube to put in the air jacks of a cup car? I assume the jacks are all pretty much the same but I didn't want to put anything in there that would attack the seals. Thanks in advance. Jim

Keep them dry. If you spray them with silicon spray they will stick and collect dirt and dust. Rebuild them often too, when my father first got his 993 cup the air jacks were filled with water. I just took them apart again and there was plenty of crud in there. The front air jack spring and retaining nut for the seal were rusting. While you're in there stetch out the return spring in the front to keep it from sticking.

anyone know if those air jacks can be put on an earlier car, say an F class Carrera? Would be nice to just press a button instead of using a manual jack :-)
Also, what would that cost, and what does the entire system weigh?
Thanks in advance,
