    Storage - Unloaded vs. Loaded Suspension

    I thought I had read about this topic on the forum, but I did not have much luck in the archives. Have I read that it is not a good idea to store a car with the suspension unloaded? If so, why is it not a good way to store a car? Thanks in advance.

    1. Deforms the rubber bushings in the suspension, esp. the sway bars.
    2. Exposes the shiney part of the shock absorber shaft to moisture, which could cause it to rust.
    3. Doesn't keep springs from sagging. Sagging is from other causes.
    4. Flat spotting isn't really the problem with modern radial tires that it was with older tires.
