Default Quick grease question?

Is it ok to use a multipurpose lithium grease on my BMR rear LCA's with poly bushings? I have the car all situated on my car lift, ready to go, and just realized the paperwork with them says "use silicone based polyurethane lube".
Lithium ok, or do I have to run around and try to find such?

Fuuuuuu

Said "Screw it", went to Advanced Auto, and bought a separate gun and some different grease. Nearly all of them said lithium-based when I looked at the label, minus Mobil 1 synthetic grease, and some "green grease" sht. Got the M1 stuff, as nothing said silicone, and the parts monkey agreed that'd probably be my best bet.

Fuuu x2

AutoZone.
EnergySuspension components.
They have the big silicone based lube packs.
The stuff you chose is not compatable.
'Screw it' has turned into, 'I am screwed'....

Parts monkey just bent you over...
He did his job os selling you stuff you dont want or need...

Not sure of any AutoZone's in our area. We have Advanced Auto, and Walmart, and I can't really think of anything else. I'll just wait till they go bad and throw the suspension in the garbage.

You should be good with the synthetic grease.

I use Super Lube multipurpose synthetic grease on poly bushings.

Yep the constant suspension mods kinda come sooner
than the items have a chance to wear out normally.

I try and wait until there is just no more life in something
until replacing it but I have come full circle on this modding
game and have started back at the top of the list again...
