What does everyone use to lube their a-arm ball joints?
Gear oil
Grease
Light spray oil
Would be interested in what people use and the results.
Thanks

80/w90 at least every 1000 km when the sled gets into the shop to thaw out for a good going over. At 5900km there is some play but not bad. I expect my riding is pretty gentle compared to most.
My case for gear oil is a high film strength at low temps, downside is it is on the stiff side.

I am using the same, just over 10,000 km on the original joints and they are still in spec.

I use the WD 40 silicone. Any good silicone will work.

Are the silicone sprays you are referring to: wet or dry.

WD 40 goes on wet and dries with a white film ( lubricant ). I believe the majority of silicones do.
