what to grease

I need some advice on what parts to grease and what grease to use. I got my frame painted and am getting ready to put everything back together. I did not take my carrier, motor, etc apart. Everything was just unbolted and removed. I am installing Works Triple Rates w/ rezzies w/ +2 Burgard arms.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Swing arm pivot bolt
Brake lever shaft
Steering stem bushing
A-arm bolts
Shock mounts

That's all I have for now, i'm sure there are other things.

Type of grease seems to be personal preference. The shock mounts require a heavy duty type, can't remember the name....

Cool, thanks man. I heard that on the pivot bolt I need to use low temp grease. Is this true? What is the difference between 'regular' grease and the low temp grease? So any grease should work?

i would put a dab of grease on every bolt you put back on. because in 5 years from now when you want to redo it again the bolts will be rusted tight.

BE SURE TO GREASE YOUR A-ARM BOLTS AND BUSHINGS TO PREVENT THEM FROM SQUEAKING IN THE FUTURE.
