Thanks. I saw a local made white crystalline grease which said lithium compound suitable for bearings and high temp applications. Is that dielectric or not?

dielectric grease is silicone grease - it does not have metals like lithium for soap.

Thank you @xulfiqar. That's what I was wondering. I read on an American classics forum yesterday that Lithium grease was the standard before silicone Dielectric grease. I guess they are wrong.

Brother, after reading your post i have following questions and things i have understood..

There are various types of NLGI2 grease...
-Some have high moly content some dont..
- some are long thread and some are short thread and smooth.. (Does both have moly Content in them?)

For break callipers we can use permatex greese (i hope not on the break calliper pins with rubber housing on them)

And secondly is it mentioned on the grease box about the moly content it has, is it long thread or short thread... How much is its flash point.. Its viscousity grade And etc stuff like that?

And more over, we can use silicon grease on electric joints? Electric contacts? To prevent them from rust (but the silicone being di electric wont it cause problems on electric joints? )

Check both sides' ball joints first.

They were out of order (lol not actually worn out the boot was good and mechanic sugested to keep using them but i checked them and there was slight play in them so...) Replaced the ball joints yesterday..
And felt the difference... ThankGod i changed them
