What type of grease is preferred here to lube your car's chassis? I tried this stuff called MOLY grease (said it was best for car lubrication) hate it! I'm going to go back to Lithium general grease. Any others out there I should look out for or look for to use?

I use Mobil-1 for everything. It works great on poly bushings, window
tracks, shifter bushings, clutch linkage, all the front suspension and steering.
I buy it in the tube for the gun, and have a tub I use for the left over from
the gun when I change the tube. It cost more, but it is the best I have found.
I use Mobil-1 motor oil and rear end lube also. It's good stuff!!

You can't use Lithium grease on wheel bearings, you will kill them. You have to use Moly grease or synthetic there. That said:
I also use Mobil 1 synthetic grease everywhere. Ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, etc. It's excellent. Also, the Slick 50 stuff works good too. For seat tracks, door tracks, window regulators, hinges, etc. I use white lithum grease.
Why the difference? Lithium grease is "thinner", or more correctly, has a lower viscosity. It's great for getting into hard to reach grooves like seat tracks and window channels. The trade off is low heat resistance. Lithium grease will quickly liquify in an area that sees excessive heat and friction, such as a wheel bearing or even a ball joint (very close to brakes, and heavily loaded). When that happens, things are going to fail.
