Default UMI Torque Arm
Just got my torque arm and it didn't have any grease with it for the bushing. Does anyone know what kinda grease that is or if something else will work in its place that you can get from the autoparts store. Thanks.

any synthetic grease will do.

i personally use Lucus red grease.
they have it at any autoparts store and Home Depot has it.
You need a grease gun too.
HomeDepot sells the Lucus Kit:Gun and Grease

Worth it, trust me.

Just make sure its the synthetic, and youll be good to go. I used the Mobil 1 Synthetic grease (whish is also red). Its pretty sticky stuff, and works great.

I use marine grade grease in all my suspension parts as it is more water resistant and therefore requires less frequent maintenance.....

Why would you need a grease gun? There's no zerk on mine, or is that just the adjustable ones?

Is it a trans mounted torque arm, or tunnel mounted? On the tunnel mounts, they have the zerk fittings.

Synthetic grease only. We also suggest Mobil 1 Synthetic.
