Recently I replaced Acura OEM sway bar links with greasable MOOG sway bar links.
I came to two conclusions. It is great to grease the links, but not much of a penalty if the links are not fully greased in a regular basis. Next, the grease type although can be very beneficial, not critical as the sway bar links are not performing a complex task.
Moog recommends the green Lucas grease for their suspension parts
Green Lucas is a hd polyurea grease. Be careful mixing soap types it can cause hardening or bleed out and ruin a bearing or joint.
Lucas green is likely compatible with the oem fill which is very likely lithium but be careful.
Lucas green grease is a non soap polyurea-based lubricant
I don't see anything about Lucas in their bulletin:
https://www.moogparts.com/technical...quirements-for-steering-suspension-parts.html
MOOG engineers suggest using a premium heavy-duty NLGI #2 lithium or synthetic grease.
Maybe I read this and just found Lucas to be close to what they recommend
Shell is pretty common to a s2 or s3 v600 would work well thay means it has a iso 600cst oil in it. Most heavy truck shops sell it for 5th wheel plates and pins and bushings.
How is RP the best grease ever? Any data you can share to support your claim?
Several Chevy HD trucks, 200k+ miles, hard use, no chassis or steering parts replaced, or loose. Untold thousands of miles with heavy trailers, under hard conditions, never a bearing failure.....both despite abuse.
Data? You can find all the data you want on the internet that tells you whatever you want it to say. Personal experience and trial, trumps "data" in some cases.
Of course, like anything else, my opinion is an opinion if you dont like it, dont buy RP.
