Any cheap automotive grease. I happen to have some MS2 stuff lying around
(CV grease) - I tend to use that. Otherwise a boring lithium grease.

Not vaseline.

Whatever. Those are both low speed, low temperature applications with
rolling, rather than sliding, bearing elements. They are easy on
grease as such things go.

I generally avoid white lithium grease because it gradually turns into
some sort of cheese. I generally favor greases that claim to be
waterproof. I have had happy results with Mobil 1 synthetic grease
and various molybdenum disulfide enhanced automotive greases.

Here's the one I've been using lately, which I am satisfied with:

It can't beat my $3 tub of Coastal wheel bearing grease that I use on
hubs--it smells like the manliest of brake shops! Put some behind your
ears before you head down the the Wild Horse and surely you can pick
up a chick with a Camaro.

I would use Lubriplate 130AA white lithium grease. There are a multitude
of excellent products which would be equally suitable but that is my
preference.
