Best Grease?

[Bent]

What would be the best grease for:
Greasable shackles?
R.E. control arms with jonny jounts?
Drive shaft slip joints?
Front end components?
Is this a one size fits all, or should I be using different types?
Grease is cheep compared to replacing worn parts.

I use either Mobil-1 synthetic or Valvoline synthetic. I've use them for all greaseable fittings without any problems.

I use moly based grease.

KY Jelly all the way.

How in the hell did I know you were going to say that? http://home.earthlink.net/~jdrios/thinking.gif :D

I'm using Amsoil's red grease. Works for all apps. Sticky, won't wash away & excellent temp ratings.

Tastes AWESOME with fries too. :D

How do you get the 55 gal. drum of KY into the grease gun?

[GSequoia]

You have to be an experianced KY Jelly packer like Beezil is.

From Jack Graef of CTM Racing via e-mail:

Matt -

The grease is an extreme high performance EP-2 lithium complex grease with
formula EHP.My buddy works on an offshore race boat team and this is what
they use in their boat.It works on more than just u-joints but I figured that
if it works in salt water then it'll work in mud,snow and fresh water as well
(I dont mean to say go park in a lake though ! ) try calling pure power
lubricants and they can direct you to a distributor.(714)894-2994 If that
doesnt work call me and we will find you some.


This is the stuff that comes in the CTM joints, it is very tacky and works awesome - price is a bit high (~9$ a tube) and its hard to get through the gun - but it kicks the pants off anything else I have seen... HTH

I was going to say, I use marine grease whenever possible, but that last answer sounds even better.

[Bent]

Thanks Matt, that stuff sounds like the ticket.
