Looking for a high quality grease for use on truck suspension parts (ball joints, greasable control arms, etc) as well as trailer bearings. For trailers everyone seems to suggest 'marine' grease.
Trying to figure out how it is different from other grease?? Looking at some of the marketing for marine greases, they keep saying "waterproof" and "resists corrosion" - doesn't ALL grease do that?
Also, if marine grease is somehow more waterproof and more corrosion resistant, why isn't it just used everywhere, why even bother with other greases??
For context, I live in the PNW, so lots of rain and lots of road salt in the winter. I currently have Lucas X-Tra Heavy Duty Grease in my grease gun. Also have a big tub of Motorex 'FETT 2000' which I use on my dirt bike and mountain bike. Trying to figure out if I really need a second grease gun full of marine grease for the trailer...
