Is Mobil 1 grease accetable to use as ball joint/tie rod end grease for our cars?

Are there any hidden spots to grease? I do not have a manual yet for my 95.

Thanks, KW.

I don't know about a '95, but on my '94, the wheels have to be removed to access greese fittings for the upper ball joints, both front and rear.

Redline makes a hi-temp grease also. I melted the original grease in my ball joints when I got the front brakes really hot. It melted out like lava. I switched to Redline and wrapped the new ball joints in a heat reflective material (Bobby Archer). No problems since the change. I think the Mobil 1 and Redline are similar.

I used the Mobil1, it's as good as it gets.
Do it when you flush the brake fluid. Wait for the manual, don't blow out the rubber boots, just squeeze until they swell.
