I use the really sticky **** they send with Energy Suspension polyurethane products...you can buy it in larger containers, so I bought a couple and crammed it in a grease gun. It seems to work really well, and seems to stay put better than some others I've tried.

Are you talking about the mount where the shock bolts to the shock hat assembly? If so, as you've probably read, that area rusts pretty badly. I know a lot of people recommend putting grease up there, though I don't know if anyone has ever actually had it work well in preventing the rust.

Yes, but also on all sides of the mount itself (like the wheel well side), or is Armor All better for that? Like the exposed sides of the rubber -- to prevent dry rot/cracking, etc.

I've started using some stuff called Magnalube recently...actually got a small tube a while back to use as gun lube, then bought a decent-sized can of it to use out in the garage. Don't have to glop it on, a really thin coat works great. Going to be redoing the front suspension on the car this winter and I plan on using that for all the tie rods, ball joints, etc.

Where did you find that Magnalube stuff?
I hate that ****...I always forget to put nitrile gloves on before doing anything with it, then spend 10 minutes trying to scrub it off. What I call it in the garage isn't fit to write here ![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)

You can pick it up on Amazon, it's not really too expensive at all. I think I got a quart-sized can for about $11.
I left the tube of it I had out on my computer desk one night after cleaning my pistols...apartment maintenance guys came in the next day to fix the a/c while I was at work. Got some weird looks when I got back to the apartment that evening and couldn't figure out why until they left, and I saw the lube, latex gloves, and pipe cleaners on my desk
