Grease gun for zerk fittings
 
I'm finally going to drill my control arms for zerk fittings. I know theres some types of grease you're not supposed to use, I searched and found a couple links on what grease to buy, but the links were dead.

Once I get these zerks in, anyone know where I can get the correct lube for ES bushings? Or can I really just use any regular grease for this?

I've always used teflon based grease and havn't had problems. Not with energy suspension bushing specifically though.

Hope that helps! :party:

(I just wanted an excuse to use the party kitty)

I can't find any grease in something that will work with a grease gun. :facepalm:
I also can't find a grease gun that I can manually load with grease, not the insert.

Someones gotta have a solution for this.

Generally you buy a tube and the grease gun pushed it out of the tube, leaving you with an empty tube in your gun eventually.

That or if the grease has a tip, you use a chalking gun.
