Yo motorised people.
The rear shock of my motorbike, who is a bit tired and that I am considering to get refurbished at some point, is maintained by an bracket/sort of hinge that is squeaking because old and not lubricated.
I'm just back from a short trip to france and at low speed the squeaking has become more and more noticeable... annoying...
You can see here how it looks:

I bought a spare one for very cheap, coming from a bike that had a lot less mileage than mine. It looks like it has no play and the bearings look good. So I'm going to swap them. I've been advised to use marine grease for this (mainly because where it is, it gets a lot of projections from the roads, salt in winter, etc...)
What marine grease should I use?
Would this work?
