What kind of grease do you use Boyd?

Mobil-1...."I put that shit on everything"

Mix it in a plastic bag. Cut a hole in the end. Squeeze 'er out!!! It looked like you already squeezed one out!

Keep an eye on the BJ boot. Once you warm it up that grease will keep squirting out so youll have to keep at it until you change them out. I kept lubing mine up for almost a month and it worked for a while then no matter how much I filled them up they sounded like popcorn being popped.

Thanks for the write up, been needing to this for a while now, just haven't had time to do it yet, made it look fairly simple to do

It started with the technical peeps at Total Chaos. They were recommending a graphite synthetic. My experience with this mix is 100% quiet - now if I could have some way to encapsulate the uniballs with this mix - or I had thought of just dry graphite - I would be squeak free without having to spay or squirt lube on them!

Shit.....I just lubed and installed my bushings. Maybe Ill grab some and make a mix for the cams and bolts while I'm out grabbing breakfast tomorrow before I throw it all back on the truck. I need to figure out some kind of cap before winter hits. That is definitely on my list and has been for a while

It's not, but we can handle it

I've actually never done a ball joint before so if I can figure out how to do it safely..........

It helps when you have OCD :)
