Stabilizer jacks

I couldn’t find where exactly to post this question. If I’m in the wrong sub forum I apologize. Am I suppose to lubricate my stabilizer jacks with a spray or grease? Any information would be helpful.

Use a spray dry lube that won't collect dust and debris like grease can.

I use WD-40 Specialist Dry Lube with PTFE.

My go-to for these types of situations is automatic transmission fluid. A few drops on the threads will lube for a year. ATF is a clingy hydraulic fluid that suspends any dirt. A quart of ATF used for lube will last for years without running out.

5 picker's dry lube might be even better for the situation, but is not as cheap.

X2. This is spot on. I use this exact lube for darn near everything that needs lubrication that is exposed.
