Question Greasing Front End

Good morning all.....I was just wondering how often everyone greases their front suspension. I drive about 300 miles a week and grease it every Sunday evening. Is this overkill? I have done all the ball joints in the past 2 years and just don't want anything getting dried out. I can usually get one or two pumps with the grease gun on each fitting before it starts to pee out.

Also, can I use that grease for the door hinges? WD-40 drips like crazy and I find myself having to do it once a month so the doors don't make noise.

The grease tube says it's for Chrysler suspensions but if anyone has better suggestions I am all ears.

Thank you all for your time

Jeff

WD 40 dehydrates and also will dehydrate any previous lube that happens to remain.
I use a spray white grease.

Weekly is overkill, just do it with every oil change.

weekly is way overkill. i grease mine about every 6 months or so, but every oil change would be a good interval.

any grease is good on door hinges, white lithium or green multi-lube or wheel bearing or anything. i just smear on a little bit. wd40 won't stay on.
