Replacing spring & shackle bushings in my BDS 2.5" lift. Considering lithium based marine grease, any other ideas?
Best grease for urethane bushings?

Superlube looks like a strong contender. Are these off-line only or do you have irks?
Irks?
Thinks he means zerk fittings for greasing with a gun.

Try some Mercruiser 2-4-C if you want really waterproof grease.
Don't the urethane bushings squeak?

Wrap them with plumber's tape and skip the grease. This method has been used by the import crowd for years and is extraordinarily effective.
Use CRC 5351 synthetic brake grease, PAO/Ester base, loaded with moly, teflon and graphite, safe for plastics and wont wash out.

My ARB bushings brackets are billet with zerk fittings- no broken brackets here!

The UMIs are also billet, they are just an aluminum alloy billet (the strongest number, forgot what it is) instead of steel billet.
They don't break, despite holding a 35mm bar in place, using VERY sticky autocross tires, and having the zerk fitting hole drilled in them.
