SaBesto SA 2000 is my favorite lube for stuff under the van and all around
where it won't be in contact with people or clothing.  Google it and buy
online, I haven't found it in any retail stores.  I use it on my trans
linkage and my suspension/steering..Works good.  A bit expensive but way
better than silicone, WD 40, 'penetrating oil' or the other stuff you find
around.  I go "spelunking" with my spray lube every few months to help
things that need to move freely.
