Lets talk grease. What suspension lube are you guys using for your setups.
Rubber and/or Poly bushings. Is there any difference in the requirements for either material?

it's the SuperLube White Lithium grease, UMI also sells it for about $15, ditto with Byunspeed.
however, if you know where to look, I've purchased it myself for under $10 per tube

Nice! Yeah i found it on their home site for 12.50/tube.
I really gotta lube my T/A and adj. PHB they are getting annoying. The regular grease just seems to run right outta the poly bushings.

Yeah is is a special type of grease for the poly stuff, it is really really sticky and almost impossible to get off, extremely thick. I used the stuff from BMR. On the ball joints, I use Mobil 1 synthetic grease (red stuff)

Rubber you do not lubricate at all. Poly bushings as long as you use a full synthetic grease you will be ok. If the grease is petroleum based it will cause premature bushing wear and failure.
We also sell the "super grease " offered by Prothane.
