I use some parts store black molybdenum type general purpose grease for ball joints and tie rods, but my second choice is redline synth grease (the red stuff). I just don't have any redline in a grease gun at the moment.

The Redline is definitely tops for wheel bearings, or other hi-temp areas where you don't want the grease to melt off, like a clutch fork ball pivot etc. Ball joints?... I say anything clean to push out the old grease and dirt away from the actual joint is good. Most people these days never lube anything.

I used to have a 3rd gen F-Body and those were known to kill lower ball joints on the front end. Lubing never helped- they last 3 years and that's it.
