Question Best Grease?

I'm going to be replacing my shocks soon and while I'm in there i want to re-grease my poly Bushings, the Red ones. I know I can buy more of the grease that came with my kit from Summit, but what is the Best grease to use on these bushings?

I was always told white lithium grease is good to use. I put that stuff in my roto joints and it keeps them quiet.

Don't use a Lithium based grease on poly-urethane bushings, it will make them soft and lead to deterioration of the bushing. We recommend a grease called Super Lube which we sell and can also be found at your local hardware store sometimes. It is a thick, clear, and very sticky grease that doesn't break down as fast as some of the other greases out there. If you can't find that stuff Mobil 1 synthetic is also pretty good to use.

No problem. You'll be able to find the Mobil 1 pink goodness at most major auto parts stores, but the Super Lube will be a little harder to find but tends to hold up a little longer.
