Arrow What grease do you use?

Well it was a productive day today I was able to work on the Z today. I was able to fix the creek/squeak noise coming from the front end. I removed the front and rear Whiteline sway bars and replaced both front and rear Whiteline polyurethane sway bar bushings and used Mobil 1 synthetic grease to lube the polyurethane sway bar bushings. It fixed the creek/squeak noise and I used Mobil 1 synthetic grease before on suspension,chassis,and wheel bearings before and it has fixed noises related to the suspension and chassis before. Also since my engine under shroud was off I did my oil change. What brand grease do you all use on your Z? What work on your Z have you used grease on? Your experiences?

I have a tub of bearing grease that I used to use for repacking wheel bearings (back when I did such things). I use it for jobs that require a thick-lube-that-will-stay-put. For plastic bushing squeaks, I will usually first try the PTFE-based dry lube spray that I use for firearm trigger assemblies (doesn't attract dirt like grease will). YMMV

I use formula 5 prelube from Energy Suspension on polyurethane bushings. Someone on here recommended wrapping the sway bar with Teflon tape and that has worked well for me to prevent squeaks.

Ditto! Stuff is amazing! Plus it's odorless, colorless, and latex friendly. Just pump it around the wheel hub, n go. Score!!!
