I'm finally ready to reassemble the front suspension. But I dont know what type of grease to use. I think I need 3 different types total.. all parts are new.

what kind/brand of grease do I use on each of these:

Torsion bars?

MOOG rubber upper and lower control arm ball joints?

MOOG Tie rod ends, sleeves?

MOOG Idler arm shaft? Idler arm, pitman arm?

Energy Suspension upper control arm bushings, and strut rod bushings?

I like a grease that has some molly in it for the ball joints and tie rods.
As for bushings i use the green disc brake slide pin grease from loctite.

AMSOIl have a lot to say about grease on their web sight you could check that out too.

The MP green grease that Ehrenberg recommends is very good as is the Kendall "blue" grease. There is something about a "long fiber" type grease but I ain't checked into what's up with that. I use either of the above & no issues to the best of my knowledge. Here's a BTT for ya

Yes the Mopar MML (multi-mileage lubricant) is a very good chassis lube and should work fine for all of those things, it's the only lube I used when I rebuilt my front suspension,no problems at all. Ehrenberg loves the stuff too. You can get it at your local chrysler dealer, although some dealers won't sell just one tube, you have to buy a case. Depends on the dealer though. I got lucky and one of my local dealers sells it by the single tube. If the counter person doesn't know what they are doing it can be confusing for them as there is a couple different ones ( I had to go through it with the 19 yr old girl working the parts counter) bring the part # with you. I believe it is 4897841AA for the 14.5oz tube. Hope this helps you out.
