Metco Control Arm Grease

[2003_MM_FYRE49]

For those of you that have the Metco control arms installed, what type of grease do you use and how often do you lube the bushings? Thanks in advance.

i would use some standard axle or bearing grease.it will be fine in that setup.i have used that grease on all of my mustangs and i have been under severak marauders and used the same thing.


depending on your climate i would look at greasing all joints once maybe twice a year.

I used Synthetic grease..I grease them twice a year also.

I believe that Metco specifically calls for synthetic grease.

What he ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ said.

Metco says sync. grease because reg. oil base grease will
eat away at the poly. bushings.

I'm using marine grade synthetic lube. Got it at the boat supply.
