Ball joint query
Good evening all.
Those that read my project post know I'm about to start my suspension rebuild. I have stripped down all the ball joints to add more grease. I was going to use my GP grease but noticed the grease under the covers is a graphite type grease. What greases are others using in their ball joints? My front drop links have never knocked So I am going to reuse them and re grease them as well. Any guidance gratefully received

I use red rubber grease, as it is guaranteed not to affect any elastomeric material.

It's molybdenum disulphide grease (CV Joint grease)

Brilliant thanks mate
Something like Molykote BR2 then would do the trick?

I'd love to have seen Private Jones telling Captain Mainwaring to grease his ball joints with molybdenum disulphide! And the look on Sergeant Wilson's face! Random thought!
