any high pressure grease you can pump in there. I typically use just wolfs head red and I use a hi temp 'tan' color for wheel bearings and of course lithium added 'green/blue for the boat trailer stuff

i would stay away from the synthetic lubricants for the stock front ends of our cars. from my experience it tends to get "liquidy" & runny over time. i rebuilt the front suspension on 2 of my previous vehicles & used hi-temp synthetic grease for my bearings & synthetic grease for ball joints & steering components. after about 6 months to a year time frame i noticed that i had a wet, greasy film on the back of both front wheels. i noticed small droplets of the reddish grease dripping out from some of the zirk fittings as well. i also had a greasy runny film all around the lca ball joint & lca. i use standard bearing grease (for bearings) & good old black chassis grease for bj's & steering components now. haven't had a single issue since
