Was curious what kinds of grease you guys are using for control arm bushings, tracbars, and aftermarket driveshafts.

I was thinking about using that Castrol Pyroplex Blue. Is that good stuff or not?

Used to be the graphite impregnated stuff was the best. I said impregnated...heh heh heh.....but now I tend to agree with David. I believe the lithium stuff is by far the best now.

Since I just retired from a major truck firm. We had independent test run yearly on most available greases made in the world. The overall winner year after year for all combined lubrication, wheel bearings, U-joints, shackle pins, water pumps was Chevron EP-2. Blue in color and has excellent adhesion and water repelency. It is an extreme pressure and high heat, disk brake wheel bearing acceptable. A few instances some of the synthetics were better on one item only but not as good when we considered the complete truck and all of the applications. I use the Chevron EP-2
