I don't think the type of grease is so important, it's more important to do this often, at least once a year!

A good multi purpose grease is fine for suspension, but EPL2 is a better choice, as you can get it to push through a tight joint with a good grease gun. Multi purpose doesn't handle to Extreme Pressure sometimes requied.

Remember to only Use HTB (High Temperature Bearing) grease for all bearings in wheels and swivel hubs.

Or the new LMX is a good High temp bearing grease and moderate pressure grease all in one. It is the perfect Automotive grease to have in your shed.

Seems like someone knows a bit more than me on htis topic... But its still important to do this often

And if doing suspension bushes, use rubber grease on them to help them slip in place.

Thanks guys. How many nipples are there on the swb gq's?

[bobbrumby]

7 on the prop shafts, and about 7 on the steering. remember to wipe the dirt off the nipples before you pump the grease in as you dont wont this grit going through the joint
