Default What kind of grease?

This weekend I have some time so I am going to be lubing up the Lexus for the winter to try and reduce squeakiness.

In your opinion, what is the best kind of grease to use on suspension components? I was thinking silicone grease or lithium grease.

I will be using dry PTFE lube, that FIGS has recommended, on my Rear Toe Control Arms and I will be using lithium grease on my Steering Wheel Tilt Adjustment Motor. I just wanted to know which kind of grease you guys think would be the best for suspension components such as bushings, etc.

from what i heard you can use the marine grease since it can resist water and has a larger temp rating.

you can find it in walmart in the oil area for cheap.
