Ask 10 people get 11 different answers. I have Johnny Joint style bushings on my new control arms and they need to be greased. Looking at what type of grease to use I quickly learned red and tacky isn't the answer. One thing led to another an I discovered Currie "makes" a special greese for the joints. Ordered a tube via summit for $11. Got it and was able to rip off the label and determine they actually recommend Phillips Megaplex XD5 #2. This might help someone else in the future.

Phillips 66® Megaplex XD5 is a high performance, multipurpose, extreme pressure (EP), lithium complex grease developed to satisfy the severe lubrication requirements of mining and off-road equipment manufactured by Caterpillar, Terex, Komatsu Dresser, Le Tourneau, P&H, and others. It is particularly recommended for use in AC and DC electric drive haul trucks, cranes, scrapers, shovels, and draglines operating in severe service under heavy or shock loads.
Megaplex XD5 is manufactured with high quality, high viscosity base oils, a special polymer, and a lithium complex soap thickener. It is fortified with EP, rust and antiwear additives, 5% molybdenum disulfide (moly), a tackifier, and oxidation inhibitors. It provides excellent wear and corrosion protection as well as resistance to water washout for equipment subject to heavy or shock loads or operating under wet conditions and/or high temperatures.
