I thought my assembled subframe was pre greased, but looks like it wasn't. What do you all use for the control arm bushings and ball joints?

I use the clear synthetic that umi sells.

I know a guy that didn't that with his gw arms had to put 4 new ball joints in it. It was a couple years

Just use your favorite chassis grease. I like RednTacky from Lucas and you can get the tubes at most parts stores.

I pumped some royal purple in I had on the shelf. There was brown grease on the control arms I found out when I pushed RP through them.

Good thing it was just a up and down the street checking for loose hardware and suspension. If it was a week or something I would have been sick!!!
