I use marine grease because it is water resistant and seems to last longer.....

Any type of full synthetic will work fine.... Mobil One is usually easy to find.

We also sell the clear super sticky stuff like what you get from Prothane in grease gun size cartridges if you like.

Thanks guys....


Thanks, Lee
I may try some of your stuff, but I will go to NAPA local first and see if they have the mobil 1 synthetic.

I've used a teflon impregnated grease called "Super Lube" on a lot of automotive applications, with good results.

FYI: I just picked up some Mobil 1 (red) fully synthetic grease from Autozone for $7.99. The stuff works fantastic on the poly LCA's. Probably going to grease the upper and lower tubular A-arms now.
