Lubricating Suspension Bearings?

[MetalsMan]

Anyone using a particular lubrication for your aftermarket suspension bits? MCS and TC Kline both say no, but the spherical bearings at both ends on the rear and the camber plate bearings + endlink bearings all seize up from time to time and movement is limited. I have a routine of using PB Blaster and compressed air to remove contaminants and free them, but seems like I need to to that pretty often. I live in Louisiana, so humidity is def an issue.

Problem with a lot of lubes is that while they may quiet things down, they can also attract/retain dirt, which may or may not be an issue. So kind of a catch 22. Consider something like WD-40 Specialist Dry Lube if you've got noises that lubrication has been proven to quiet. But this stuff probably won't last as long before needing to be reapplied.

Try Ultra Tef-Gel. It's a PTFE based waterproof anti-seize lubricant. It's used in marine applications, so it's salt-water proof etc. Expensive but the reviews are great.

Thanks for the suggestions!
