Hello
Thanks for choosing UMI Performance for your suspension needs. No the control arms that we offer do not come pre greased. And when you do grease the control arms I would suggest only using 1.5-2 pumps of grease per grease fitting. And yes you can pick a marine based grease at your local auto parts store. We suggest the type of grease due to the fact that it holds up to water and heat better then standard grease.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad

I use the Permatex anti-seize lubricant(the silver messy stuff) for LCAs',panhard,and sway bars(also for caliper pin sliders). So far it's the only lube I found to not get those annoying squeaks and noises that occur with time.
