What kind of lube are you guys using?

I know didnt sound right but hey it got you to look. Anyways what kind of lube/grease are you guys using on your sway bars/endlinks to keep squeaking down to a minimum? I used the grease that came with endlinks but it only seemed to work for little less than a month.

Whoa,

lead is heavy. My sways are hollow and light (Hotchkis comps). But they are nasty.

if your swaybars came with grease please use the grease that came with the sway bars...

if not any type of lube will do. I've used all types just to keep the squeeking away!
