I keep Castrol LMM in my grease gun, it's the one to use for ball joints, suspension arms etc.

With grease guns nowadays you only get what you pay for.

I use one of these, with Valvoline chassis grease in it.

Note the price- mine was $49, that's how long I've had it. It's still working good. :lol:

Yes +1 for the McNaught. You won't be sorry. Nothing more frustrating than a cheap grease gun.

+1 for McNaught & Castrol LMM. Pay the money and it will be a once in a lifetime purchase.
