A method for reducing friction between interconnected outer and inner helical members of a downhole damper where the damper includes an outer damper body and an inner damper body, and where the outer and inner damper bodies are telescopically movable relative each other, the outer and inner damper bodies being biased in the extending direction, and where one of the outer and inner damper bodies are connected to a drill bit workable at a borehole face, and where the other of the outer and inner damper bodies is connected to a torque and force transmitting member, and where the outer and inner helical parts are arranged so as to retract the bit from the face when torque applied by the torque and force transmitting member exceeds a preset value, wherein the method includes: letting a relative movement between the inner and outer body force lubricant to flow between the helical members.
