Default Grease for bronze bushing?
About to put a new bushing in to replace the pilot bearing. Should I be putting grease on the input shaft when I put it all back together? If so, what kind? Please don't say white lithium, where do you buy that stuff? I've been all over town (Vegas) and I can never find it. The people at autozone look at me like I'm retarded when I say white lithium, lol.

Actually you are suppose to install them dry . Most bushings have graphite inbedded in them and will sweat when they get hot .

The GM pilot bearing is packed from factory with grease, we still put a lil grease on the input shaft, no issues.
