this machine has suspension rod trouble. I have a rod with no resistance. It moves up and down freely with no damping. 

what material is used to put on the rod to get damping back? a good rod has this really sticky stuff on it and if I can get that back on the  bad one I would be OK. 

So what is that gooey stuff?   Thanks in advance.

that would be the easy way... There is nothing wrong with the rods other than the VERY viscous coating on the rods has gone from one rod. Would you toss a part if all it needed was lubed?

Was anyone able to identify this grease?

The factory doesn't suggest replacing any grease and as service technicians we can't warranty a fix like that so it would be a disservice to us and the customer. Just buy new shocks. The factory doesn't tell us what this is for that very reason.
