Exclamation Polly bushing grease??

I did a search, and nothing relavent came up...
I have polly bushings in the panhard, lower control arms, and sway bars.
Sphon recomends super lube synthetic with ptfe.
I cant find it anywere in the auto stores... napa, advanced, orilieys, checker, fleet farm, menards.... they all look at me like I am retarded..
So, what do you use?
I know I should use synthetic, for high pressure, with good low and high temps.
I found mobil one synthetic, but no ptfe in it.
I also found some organic stuff that ptfe, but nothing that had both.
So, what gives? I thought the organic grease eats the bushings, or just isn't good for it?
Can anyone give me some GOOD insight into this issue??
Thanks
Cody

I've been using Mobil One synthetic for +7 years on my suspension bushings with no problems!

I thought they used to recommend waterproof grease.

Anyone else?

Super Lube

That's exactly what you are looking for.

And it's waterproof!

Spohn, UMI, Summit, Jegs, they all sell it. If you live near a Harbor Freight Tools store, check, the one near me has it in smaller tubes. Maybe a local Speed/performance shop?

well, like my first post says, I have been all over trying to find it. Buying over the internet takes too damn long for shipping. But, I guess if that is my only option, ill have to take it. Just sucks.

holy hell... UMI will charge over 28 bucks for it and delivery, Spohn charges over 26 for the grease and delivery... what a ripoff. Does anyone know a local parts store that carries super lube or can order it?? Shipping makes this rediculous!
Thanks

I just ordered a tube when I placed an order with Spohn, so I was paying shipping anyways. My local Checker can place orders through Summit and get the part next day with no shipping charges. Maybe try and ask if the checker in your area will do the same?

Your local MSC supply has it. If there isn't a supply house close by, they ship same day.
