Default non lithium based grease

it's time to relube my Hotchkis sways, but i'm having hell trying to find a non-lithium based lube. Besides the $25 bottle from Hotchkis, are their any other options?

Searched the forums, no luck.....

I believe the Hotchkis product is a silicone grease. It's the same stuff sold with the Energy Suspension products but I don't know where you could buy it separately.

Silicone greases are typically used for rubber O-rings and other applications where a waterproof, non-washable grease is needed. Some people have recommended using plumbers grease (for O-rings, faucet mechanisms) on rubber suspension bushings.

awesome, thanks for the advice.
used a cheaper lube, and it only lasted about 2 months before creaking started.
