i've had good success with Valvoline MOLY EP wheel bearing grease (for disc brake wheel bearings) in the paper tube ... about $1.50 per tube. i've got 96,000 miles on these joints now, and only cleaned/regreased them at 75,000 cause i got paranoid. ;) but i did add extra grease when i bought the car (at about 500 miles). other buses also lasted past 100,000 on the same grease.

however ... :( this grease will LEAP off the joints onto your shirt, face, hands, arms, neck, nose, and any other nearby expanse of human flesh or "good" clothing.
