What dry Lube?

Ok the query of the day is what dry lube do you use on your stabilizers? Just wondering?

i think waterproof grease is probably going to do a better, longer lasting job than dry lube.

I was thinking of something that might not pick up dirt and grime and hold like the grease I use on farm machinery.

I use spray silicone on my stabilizers. I don't have a specific brand recommendation.

Buy it at Lowe's. Use it on my slide gaskets too.

A couple of drops of automatic transmission fluid on the threads works very well for me. Also use ATF on sliding door rollers on the minivan, and on the garage door opener chain. Cheap, doesn't collect dirt like any grease. Renew about once a year. A drop or two will do'ya.
