I'd use one of the waterproof (as they get) greases. I have some marine stuff I use.

Check the races of the strut bearings real carefully. Rotating freely by hand is not free at 50ish ftlb.

Look for small depressions in the races. I swapped out mine & got a real surprise on the first sweeping corner, indexed steering. The good thing is that new bearing are cheap.

cheers
