I need help finding grease needed for my front LCA's. I will be using the ES poly bushing set. Thanks

BTW - Some thing I was wondering. I have seen some ES sway bushings with the grease fittings.... couldn't I do the same thing with the front LCA's. Drill a hole and add the zerk fitting?? Any tried this before??

 

I bought ES instead of the GW Del-alums before I heard they were available for our cars. There isn't much to it from what I see when looking at the units. I'll just drill and groove the bushings so that the grease is forced through the drilled tunnel and through the grooves. I'm sure there is some Dremel-bastardization in my future...

Peace,

Edit: Oops, I am using the marine grease from Steve Spohn. Less chance of washout, plus it sounds tough for the namedroppers out there. heh

 

will any ol' grease do for the poly bushings??? I want to minimze the chance of squeaks since this will be a hefty project( I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS JOB AGAIN)

Oops!:
Sorry KenV... did'nt see your last note.

 

And I understand about not wanting to ever go into that part of the car again. I am doing the bushings, springs, balljoints AND engine mounts at the same time, and plan to forget I was there as fast as the Crown/Vanilla Pepsi will let me

Peace,

I replaced all of the bushings in my front end with ES poly, and used a tube of marine grease that I bought at Walmart. I can't remember for sure what brand it was, but it was a white grease in a white tube (maybe Coastal?) I haven't had any squeaks yet and it's been several months including driving in rain storms. It won't catch the ear of the namedroppers, but it will only cost you a couple of bucks for a full size tube.

 

Hey now, don't we all wanna have tough names on what goes into our cars?

I read a thread about replacing bushings and using anti-seize. Where did you get (if using it) your anti-seize. All I have ever seen are the small Loc-tite size tubes. Is that the right stuff? Anybody can answer. Just drop the Big names of the stuff you guys used

(EDIT) BTW Cole... thanks for the response. Like KenV, I just want to get it done and forget about it.
