    At TOTAL CHAOS, we recommend super lube but a few installation shops have reported success with red bearing grease.

    Here at our shop, we always use silicone based synthetic greases such as Super Lube or Bel Ray Silicone. It is imperative that you do not use a petroleum based (which most, but not all, red greases are) as it will eat the polyurethane bushings leading to a decreased life span.

    The silicone has a benefit of not washing away easily as well which leads to squeaky bushings!

    I'll try to determine exactly what red grease is being used by shops. A customer had 50k miles on his last ride and now has 25k miles without bushing replacement. No noises and they haven't been re-greased since install :thumbsup:

    I personally like it better than the super lube. I've been using this on all of my TC equipped rides. My Tundra went 25k miles before greasing and my FJ had somewhere around 50k miles with maybe one or two squirts from the grease gun. The Tundra didn't need it but I pumped a little bit of new grease in when the torque was being checked on all of the front end.

    We haven't personally tested it on our shop vehicles so we can't say if this is a better option. We do have customers that prefer this over super lube. I'll let you know if we test this out on our rides

    Can't imagine you'll have any complaints

    I tend to use Boeshield T-9 on uniballs. But that's just because I also use it as chain lube and it's chillin at the house at all times.

    Sorry, it's a little hard to tell the specifications and application for that grease. The photo is blurry and doesn't link to the product page

    We don't have experience with this grease so we can't say exactly how it performs with our arms. It looks like it'll work for this application
