Hey guys, had my car up in the air yesterday just to check my brakes suspension etc. Everything is still good but I was poking around underneath and found the ARS setup on the rear sway bar. It has a grease fitting on it and i want to bust out the grease gun and load it up but i I cant seem to find any specs on what kind of grease to use. I would think regular ole grease would do but being a boat owner makes me suspicious (quicksilver makes like 3 different types for different parts). Has anyone ever greased theirs?
