Which Grease

I've just started putting the front suspension back together after a strip down for new bushes etc. (The car has been off the road for about 20 years but the restoration is finally making progress....maybe).
Could you please guide me as to the best grease to use in the trunnions and can I use the same grease for all greasing points, wheel bearings etc.

Many thanks
Ross

I use Moly grease (as for CV joints) for everything - but LM2 will do.

Lithium grease is fine. It is more important to grease the suspension often for long life! ANd the track rod ends, the prop shaft joints and the handbrake cables. I think doing the greasing often is more critical than what type. Lithium grease is just fine for the job.

Many thanks - I think I have some lithium so will probably go with that.
