Hi,

I don´t jack up my car as the wheels then drop down, making access to the grease nipples even worse.
On my car the right nipple is almost impossible to access if the car has been jacked up. The shock absorber comes in the way.
I also turn the steering wheel a bit to the left to gain better access.
I must also hold the grease nozzle firm to the nipple and straight on, or else I get the same grease blob as you do.

I use whatever grease available, but prefewr Moly as Graham do.
Rather than type I think its more important to grease frequently.
In summer I grease once a week, daily commute to work plus the evening and weekend trips.
My front ssuspension now has done 38800miles without overhaul
