We used NanoPro MT’s Marine Grease to repack our ball joints with grease. I’ve won a lot of races with NanoPro MT greases in the Roush Mustangs that I drove in the Grand Am GS class. These greases are also used in military rotorcraft and are some of the most impressive greases on the planet.
You can only make something so ‘slick’ (in terms of lubricity). What sets NanoPro MT apart is their ability to use extremely heat conductive nano-particles in their greases and oils, which sucks the heat out of the localized point of friction, which greatly reduces wear and keeps the component cooler.
As we pumped in the new NanoPro MT Marine Grease, the old grease oozed out of the ball joint.
After flushing out the old grease, we were ready to reassemble our front suspension.
The stock front swaybar bushings were also worn out and need of replacement.
After lubricating our new OEM bushing with NanoPro MT Marine Grease, we were ready to re-install them.

I absolutely love the Viper project. Keep them coming!
Thank you for the comment. Glad to hear you are enjoying the project. Stay tuned!
Yooo finally a update, Viper Project got me woke on how based Vipers are.
They are badass big Miatas with torque.
Amazing how much new sway bar bushings and links can improve limit handling and on center feel. Especially on old cars that get driven hard!
Absolutely!
Is NanoPro MT Marine Grease safe to use on rubber? I’m not the best with grease chemistry, but my understanding is if it’s petroleum based, you shouldn’t be using it on rubber.
Great article and a good reminder to people that time take its toll on cars, even if they’re hardly driven.
Yes it is perfectly safe to use on rubber.
I love these posts on the viper, it helps a lot first time owners like myself. Thanks
