Whatever is in whichever grease gun I happen to be closest to when i grease them. Could be moly, full synthetic or red boat trailer grease. They don't seem to mind whatever I feed them. I do believe Toyota calls for moly...

Thanks Poser/Coolerman. Moly it is for the center arm rebuild and the tie rod ends I have on the way!!
Do you guys like to grease up brand new TRE's?
Mine sound like they have grease in them - I bought from Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters - 555 brand.

I always grease them (unless they're the sealed type without grease nipples ...which incidentally ....I try to avoid buying).
From my experience, some manufacturers supply them with just "assembly lube" that is insufficient for use "in service".
Just installed a set of 555's this weekend--they are indeed chocked full with some type of grease (translucent amber color). Not sure what type of grease it is, most lithium/moly grease I'm familiar with is opaque. I suppose you could pump them full of fresh grease to be safe...
