I haven't gone to the store yet, but I need some grease to re-lube my sway bar bushings.

Is any one brand better than the next?

 

Are you getting squeaking going over bumps? Mine too - took it back to the dealer for some other stuff, and they fixed that too under warranty.

 

Ya, but only with both wheels going over a speed bump at the same time (not at an angle).

I'm thinking I just have to re-grease the Hotchkis bushing and it'll go away. Hotchkis recommends a silicone based grease, but I was just wondering if any one brand is better than the next. If nobody comes up with a recommendation, I'll just buy whatever Napa/Checkers has.

 

Well, NAPA didn't have any silicone based grease (recommended by Hotchkis), only some lithium based blended crap . Dammit.

 

I use Amsoil synth ....works great and lasts.

 

I'll look for that at a dealer here. Thanks Ian

 

Ian, which one of these on the webpage is it?

Amsoil Link

 

I got the 8 oz tube, it lasts forever.

Gen. purpose Lith.2 complex

 

Cool.

But now this question: Hotchkis recommends a silicone based grease. Any advantage/disadvantage to using the lithium based Amsoil one?

 

silicone is an adder to improve water washout resistance.
That's why Hopscotch recommends it.

IMO, The AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease grade #2, is even better for wash out resistance.

 

Thank you bro. How's the CO install going?

 

This is the first time I've come up for air in a week
& that was to take my wife to the airport.

car is still sitting on jack stands

 

BTW, I think I've convinced another well-known member to get a set. I'll keep his name under wraps until he decides

 

I know a certain member in the middle East with a set on order.


....new JIC club forum?

I may try to find time on Sunday to finish these up.

 

Does he live in KSA .
I think i know him.
