Front end clunking

Your prize is that I will bother you first when I have my next problem

.

Which grease are you using? I was looking around online for silicone-based greases but they're tough to find. I did see that people get some plumbing stuff from Ace that is silicone based and is much cheaper. Hotchkis really screws us on the price.

I think it was my shock idea but the grease on the sway just loosened everything up. I mean it's all connected right

I used a non-silicon high-pressure moly grease, the type generally used around the chassis, wheel bearings etc. It's thicker than the silicon grease so it seems to stay put when it gets hot vs melting away like the other stuff. $4 at the parts store.
