Default Lube?

What type of suspension and chassis lubricant is suggested for a 1984 corvette? If I change the type do I need to worry about what is already in there? There are so many new and improved lubes out there, just don’t want to cause damage.

I have Redline synthetic grease in my gun that I use on just about everything. No need to worry about what is in there now, just don't end up putting to much in.

The only lube points are at the zerk fittings on some of the balljoints and tie rod ends. How many depends on year. You can't lube the bushings without disassembling them.

Any marine grade or synthetic grease should be fine for the balljoints. Get a tube and a grease gun. I also recommend some zerk fitting covers. These cover the fittings and keep them clean for next time you need to lube it.
