Rebuilding the front end and need to know what lubricant to use on the sleeves and do local autopart strores carry it?

Thanks in advance,

Seems like everyone sticks with the recommended teflon based grease... I too used this at first, but after a couple weeks driving bad squeaks would develop. After a few re-lubes I switched to a generous application of Permatex "Anti-sieze". Works great no squeaks or adverse affects after two years daily driving. So thats my recommendation, but be prepared its really messy.

I use high temp brake grease. The kind you use on the back of brake pads. It doesn't melt cause it high temp and stays where you put it . but it is greasy and sticky. but works great

Speed Shops will have the grease for the bushings. Make sure to use a lot of the stuff on all contact surfaces and you will not have any problems. This stuff will not wash away with the rain unlike other lubricants. You will find that out when you try to wash your hands afterwards :)
