What grease are you using for bushings on your caltracs?

I am installing the calvert stuff and was wondering what grease you are using on front and rear spring eyes

None. Grease is a magnet for grime.

Alex told me to use a good synthetic wheel bearing grease so thats what I will use, also i have been told not to tighting the front spring and rear spring bolts to tight.. Install has been very straight forward so far.. I just wish I knew wether to put a degree shim in or not to start off with to get my pinion angle right. LOL no big deal to take it apart and stick one in.. Aluminum and steel together I am for sure going to use something good..
