What grease do you use?
 
Well it was a productive day today I was able to work on the Z today. I was able to fix the creek/squeak noise coming from the front end. I removed the front and rear Whiteline sway bars and replaced both front and rear Whiteline polyurethane sway bar bushings and used Mobil 1 synthetic grease to lube the polyurethane sway bar bushings. It fixed the creek/squeak noise and I used Mobil 1 synthetic grease before on suspension,chassis,and wheel bearings before and it has fixed noises related to the suspension and chassis before. Also since my engine under shroud was off I did my oil change. What brand grease do you all use on your Z? What work on your Z have you used grease on? Your experiences?

I have a tub of bearing grease that I used to use for repacking wheel bearings (back when I did such things). I use it for jobs that require a thick-lube-that-will-stay-put. For plastic bushing squeaks, I will usually first try the PTFE-based dry lube spray that I use for firearm trigger assemblies (doesn't attract dirt like grease will). YMMV

I use formula 5 prelube from Energy Suspension on polyurethane bushings. Someone on here recommended wrapping the sway bar with Teflon tape and that has worked well for me to prevent squeaks.

I use this and have never had any issues.

Ditto! Stuff is amazing! Plus it's odorless, colorless, and latex friendly. Just pump it around the wheel hub, n go. Score!!!
