Default What kind of grease for UMI?
I am installing UMI lca's and phb and was wondering what kind of grease to use on the bushings. I lost my instructions on the installation.

Thanks Ryan

I thought it just said lithium grease. I have red high pressure lithium grease and was going to use that.

Marine grease is the best to use period, water cant wash it away.

I have my instructions laying around someone but it did say marine grease on mine because I bought a mini grease gun I could use without jacking up the car and i bought a giant pack of tubes with it

I am on night shift and cannot get anything else. Is it better to put in what I have for now and add the marine later or just drive it home the 2 miles without any grease and get some on monday.

Thanks

Well I got them in easy enough. Problem is the shop floor at work is slopped for the drain and that is wear I was doing the adjustments. Got onto the level and it is off now. What a pain.
