So considering various greases and their water resistant properties. Generally speaking and also in regards to use in PU bushings. I've used Valvoline red grease in the past with poor results. More recently I'm been using Super-Lube with OK results. I like the fact that the Super-Lube should have zero effect on the PU material... but not sure how much that matters since its supposed to be petroleum resistant to start.
In any case, re-lube interval is rather low, and must be done after any rain storm or squeaking will result. If I were to add lift shackles in my DD truck, they would have a PU bushing on one end and I would have to absolutely minimize lube frequency.
Looked up specs on 10 different grease which claim to offer waterproof or highly water resistant properties. Super-lube is rated #2 on my list with an ASTM D1264 of
Obviously trying to avoid anything too boutique, lets say less than or equal to the MSRP of a 14oz cartridge of Super-Lube as a base line. Is there any better grease out there than Super-Lube for PU bushings? Anything with a D1264 score better than 0.90%?
