I've not found that I have a squeaky suspension in reality, but I'm a little intrigued with it all.

Its been ten years now with the 50:50 mix, maybe I'll change it out for one of the other brews. You can certainly do much more expensive things than change out your hydro fluid when it comes to classic car tuning :lol:

The Grade 2 (33% Alcohol) Hydrolastic fluid recommended for Australian conditions contains no lubricant according to the Spec sheet. Neither does the Grade 3 (50% Alcohol) fluid..

Service Bulletin C.63/65 has a nice discussion on the issue.

For those interested, there's a copy of that bulletin in this thread - http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=88452
