Suspension grease

[Captian James F. Awesome]

What kind of grease is best for swaybar mounts that will last for a while without washing away. I tried the Mobil 1 stuff from the parts store, but it doesn't seem to last even a year. Am I asking too much? Marine grease maybe?

Is your suspension squeaking or? All grease eventually dries up when exposed to elements like air and water.

Lithium grease, bearing grease. Whatever you choose will probably work, and yeah you have to re-grease things like this once in a while. Did you "rally" your car or splash through a bunch of big puddles?

The swaybars start squeaking every spring when everything's all wet. I can ubolt the ends and move them up and down to make the noise. It's happened every spring on both Subarus I've owned. I guess I was just wondering if there's a locally available alternative to lithium grease or the "synthetic" bearing/axle grease. That stuff just doesn't seem to last very long. Not even 9 months. Stock supension doesn't get greased every year, does it?

Astroglide.

Probably not. You should make some little "shields" that bolt on and prevent grime and water from directly hitting or splashing the swaybar mounts. Or I should. I smell a business opportunity.

We should synergize. I just finished making a custom intake heatshield.

I used Redline synthetic grease on my swaybar bushings and they haven't made a single noise after going through 2 winters.

Speaking of which, can you bring those Perrin end-links to Porky's tonight?

[Captian James F. Awesome]

Can do. Do you have any of that stuff leftover? I'll trade you the end links for a few globs.

The stuff is at Scheides' house so I'll buy him some onion rings to let you lube up your shiz :D
