You mean for the grease fittings on the ball joints and or tie rod ends ?

Anything that comes out of a grease gun.

This is what I've used for years on anything with a grease fitting. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Tec...14-oz/16928006 Find it on the shelf.

I bought an expensive tube of Mobile 1 synthetic grease. It is red in color. The crazy thing is a thin red liquid leaks out of the grease gun stored in a cabinet. I wonder if I got a bad tube. Dan

normal. And Mobile has stated it doesnt affect the greases qualities. There are other greases that do this too.

My buddy uses Amsoil NLGI #2 offroad grease. He also said he has had great luck with Green Grease.
