They call for grease which Willy's called chassis lube. Many people these days use Slick 50 or Mobil 1 synthetic grease. In years past we made something called Knuckle Pudding. That was a 50/50 mix of 140 gear oil with chassis grease. You heat the gear oil and add the grease til it's blended. Use a rose gun and pump it in.
