Thanks. Gotten a lot of good response on the MoS2.  Made the mistake of using
that
white lithium grease for awhile and after putting it on everything around the
house,
learned of it's destructive qualities on rubber. Now I just  paranoid about
these things.

I've bought something called Sta-Lube extreme pressure MOLY-GRAPH multi
purpose grease at the local Pep Brats, but the only MOLY anything on the label
is in the name.
This is a lithium base grease too but black and I don't know whether to use it
or not.

man...this is a lot o' goop about grease!
