I know this has been discussed, and there have been lots of different answers. But here we go!
I'm installing some new leaf springs and upper control arms, the leaf springs have poly bushings, the UCAs have synthetic elastomer bushings. Both have grease zerks to grease when needed.
I currently have Schaeffers 238 NGLI 2 in my grease gun, it's an aluminum complex. Can I use this? I've read conflicting views on this, and most recommend lithium based grease, but a few say aluminum is better for water washout and whatnot. I'd rather not buy another grease gun specific for this since the grease I currently have works for all my applications. So can I use this grease safely for both types of bushings? Or should I bite the bullet and get another grease gun?
The UCAs (synthetic elastomer) recommend a lithium based grease with moly. If I have to go that route, and suggestions on a good off the shelf grease?
