K Y JELLY ....



OOPS wrong ROD lol :thumbup:





BRUNO please insert proper answer :marchmell

haha neil got the same answer on clubsi lol sheesh get your mind outta the gutter lol

Sorry Matt,

that is where I live :)

i just used all purpose grease...

haha... not KY... lithium grease mah man! white fine grease... melts in your hand :) also check PM!

Lithium grease ... doesn't Marty make that stuff?

nope gatherer... Marty would know nothing about that... already checked.

so what are the advantages of using this lithium grease as opposed to regular?

rubber bushings get attacked by most petroleum based grease :shrugs: check material specification sheets of petroleum based grease and rubber compounds... SOME rubber can handle it, but lithium is the **** when it comes to bushings. Unfortunately it gets washed away when used UNDER the car, but as long as it stays in the bushing, it's good.

There is a reason why things get recommended by major manufacturers... they have multi-billion dollar testing/engineering budgets, I'd say go with what they say :) If they say lithium, so be it. Also, I think their engineers have taken a materials course or two.

bruno: does lithium come in diff colours? when i took out my shift rod the grease was like a dakr grey, or was that from overtime mixed with dirt?

over time the bushing wears into the grease, turning it a grayish color. lithium grease brand new is white. other possibility is that graphite is mixed into the lithium grease for added protection, which is unlikely.

Matt, you have PM :D

Matt, i made you a special blend today, me thinx even bb would like this shyt..

white lithium, high water and heat resistence, excellent adhesion properties and a good helping of graphite....
i was gonna use moly cuz it's even finer than the graphite and is twice as slick but people here seem to have a H-O for graphite so....

:cry: what about me :(

you wants bro you just need to holler up..
there's lots there (well enuf to do 2 or 3 knuckles anyway) so.... fight it out with Matt :D

:yummy: sounds slippery LOL

I think Matt would be willing to share with me :blush:

Im a giver not a taker Neil :nods:

Bahahaha :D :haha: pervs
