You can use whatever you like, however, with the experience I have with grease......

Once you use this, you will never use anything else in the world. Amsoil Grease

Now before people jump all over me making bold claims, please allow me to explain. I've never, and I mean never, used a grease before that you could not displace. What I mean by that, no amount of pressure will push it out of the joint. I made the mistake of using a small dab to make a supercharger pulley go on easier. Big mistake, the pulley would not stop walking forward on the shaft. You could see the thin layer of grease on the inside of the pulley not being pushed aside. Metal to metal contact was not happening. I had to remove the pulley, degrease all surfaces, and reinstall dry.

On all poly bushings in the suspension. Grease once, never grease again. Everything is silent. No fear of water washout either. See what other greases will do when pressure is applied, and what Amsoil doesn't.

Great info. I was going to use heavy duty grease on my bushings, but after seeing this I will be using the amsoil stuff... too bad I didn't order last week with all my oil.

Beast, you interested in one of those grease impact machines? I know a guy selling one.

Troy, do you know what the green grease is that the factory uses to pack the CV joints in the IRS on the 03/04 Cobra?

It is incredibly sticky and gooey too. Must have a long life too, since no factory wants any warranty returns.

I just installed BMR LCA's this last weekend. Ended up using Mobil1 synthetic grease as I couldn't get Amsoil grease the day I was doing the install.

That's basically my only beef with Amsoil. It would be nice to be able to buy it on Amazon with Prime.

What are you greasing that it takes 3 tubes of grease?

Take a guess. After all, he is the OWNER of SVTP. As such he has to have even bigger "abilities" than the rest of us. :-D

But the real answer is that he has heavy equipment to maintain. Sorry, that doesn't sound quite right either.
