    I've used Red Line, Lucas, and probably every other one available at Autozone. Could never tell the difference between one or another. Any grease is better than no grease.

    Yes, if tou ask SPC what to use, they'll say moly Grey grease. I asked Icon what they recomend, they said if you're greasing em, any will do, but they default to the moly Grey grease as well. TC and camburg recommend super lube in their bushings, triflow for uniballs, and moly Grey grease for ball joints.

    I guess it depends on which UCA's you have.

    I’m not sure which bushing you are referring to nor if you are asking if you need to lift the truck to access the zerk or to grease it properly, but my guess is no.

    Asking if I need to lift the truck in order to grease the UCA bushings via the zerk fittings. I saw Total chaos recommends loosing the through bolt so not sure if can grease not lifted.

    I didn’t lift mine when I greased my TC UCAs. I just loosened the through bolt like they recommended. I didn’t take my tires off either.

    Thanks, this is helpful! Going to give it a try tomorrow. My UCAs keep making a 'tank' sound at low speeds.

    I use Mobilgrease XHP 462 Moly for all the suspension part. It cost me 3.95$ CAD a tube, a box of 10 last a long time. 3% moly and perform very well with water/salt and harsh mining environment. For the price it's a no brainer.
