Post by: Winterracing on April 25, 2011, 09:22:37 pm

What type of grease is best to be used on the ball joints, stearing rack and drive shaft?

This will most likely be a scaled down version of the "great oil debate".
I use Amsoil Series 2000 Racing Grease.

I have never greased them.  I just give them the odd spray. I should add that to my weekly list  :-[

Alot of dirt guy don't grease them, for fear of the grease attracting dirt and causing premature wear. I just choose to grease them nightly as part of my nut and bolt check

.....He was trying to grease the brake bleaders....

Holy...


Any grease will do. No need to spend a ton of $ on anything special.

Valvoline has always been on my shelf, but it's user preference or who's paying out the contingency that matters!

Had a kid helpin maintain the car for a while, told him to grease all the zerks he could find on the car. I greased all the zerks every 2 nights (no boots on the joints) and pushed all the old grease out. He said 2 zerks would not take grease. I asked "Where ?". He showed me.... He was trying to grease the brake bleaders LOL
