RE: grease

[Butch Edison <waedison1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I saw some discussion awhile back about long fibre grease, what is it, where
can you get it? In the June 2007 Mopar Action magazine, Tech Topics, page
91, Rick Ehrenberg talks about long fibre grease. He describes it as "a long
fibre barium-based grease with a consistency and stringiness not unlike
mozzarella", says to use it on suspension and steering parts for Mopar
muscle car era cars, especially those with aftermarket parts. Mopar has made
some of the grease, but he cautions that your dealer may require you to buy
a case, cause no one else is going to want it. He also encourages the reader
to 'get it while you can'. 

The Mopar part number is 4897841AA. I called my dealer's parts department
and sure enough, they would have to order it and would only sell it to me by
the case, but they did tell me that a dealer in a neighboring town had 14
tubes on their shelves, so I picked up a few.
