Strut top bearing grease.

Post by Das882 » Tue Feb 28, 2017 1:25 pm

I've just removed my front struts and springs in preparation for my new Eibachs, the strut top bearings feel perfect but I thought that as I've got them off I should wash them out and re- grease them. The old grease looks to be Graphite but it's hard to tell.....I've checked the forum but I can't find any info. I have various types of grease including waterproof grease that I used to use on my MX bike linkages, but I guess any load bearing grease would do?

Personally I would check the price and if they are cheap enough replace them.

As above. It's the only part of the top mounts that wear really so to replace at ~£10 each would be prudent imo.
