Morey's EP2 is the best for most applications except wheel bearings and CV's. It is the orange extremely sticky stuff. Not cheap but at about $15 a tube it is all realative. Water proof and extremely resistant to wash out.
Wheel bearings CV just use a good brand Moly grease.
Nissan Terrano coilovers, turboed VH45, Safari axles, and some other stuff.
