	I've managed to remove the dust boots on my steering arm ball joints and was wondering which grease is best to use once they are cleaned up? Castrol LM ok?

	I have always used CV grease in balljoints with no issues. IIRC it is slightly higher temp grease than LM. You should be OK, especially seeing how much grease some of the pattern things come with these days!
