Yesterday during an oil change I noticed that one of my ball joints was seeping a little grease. The boot was slightly torn. Other than that the ball joint appears fine and I don't notice anything abnormal while driving.
I am going to inject some fresh grease inside and wrap the boot with some self fusing tape. I know eventually the BJ will need replacement, but not currently, and I'd like to extend it's service life.
What's the best brand of ball joint grease? I see a lot of Lucas at Walmart, but I'm wary of Lucas because the consensus about their oil additives is that they're snake oil. There's Supertech grease, but it warns users to never mix different types of grease. And there's two kinds of ST grease, one is a moly grease. What should I use? Is it bad to mix greases??
