Best Grease Gun for greasing Eibach Sway Bars

[BelairBruce]

Might sound like a stupid question but I have ordered a set of front and back Eibach Sway Bars and wanted to know from those who have them what type of grease gun would be best suited, size and type of nozzle, (fixed or flexible, length etc). Thanks

I get mine greased by my dealer when it’s serviced, but the nipples that come with the Swaybars are zerk type.

These are literally the easiest possible zerk fittings to reach in the history of the automobile.

My experience is youll want one with a flexible nozzle, I got a fixed length and it makes it harder to work with because I have to jack up the car or drive on ramps to be able to get the clearance to use it.

What grease did you use? Silicone or Lithium?

 

[oddball]

Silicone. I personally hate (and hate with a passion) lithium lubricants. Never use them unless specifically have to. Lithium dries out, and the remaining paste end up being sticky and powdery - not slippery like a spray silicone coat or a layer of graphite.
Lithium is just one of the very early dry lubricants that were discovered, so it's still a traditional product.

Found a source for the Dura Lube you referenced.

Or add a flexible hose to your existing grease gun

Are they M6 in size?

 

[oddball]

Oh, are we talking about the back?
Those are exposed to far less heat, water and road muck, so will rarely need greasing. Like years. I'm not paying attention to those at all.

Don't remember what size they were. Same thread as what came with the bar.

Has to get myself a 90 degree attschements to make it a little easier to get at. Few pumps of silicone and all is quite now.
