Default Heim joint squeak
What's the best thing to lube heim joints with. I can't stand the squeak anymore from my K member and control arms

I've never tried lubing a heim joint to quiet it down. I use 3-piece Teflon-lined heim joints with rubber seals to help prevent crap from the environment getting in there in the first place.
