lubrication
« on: January 10, 2017 - 01:49:46 PM »
I am getting ready to reinstall my axles. The tapered axle bearings are in great shape and cleaned. I am thinking to use Redline CV2 synthetic grease for the front and rear wheel bearings and for the U joints. Is this the right grease to use? Also, can this be use for suspension like ball joints? For poly bushings at the suspension and sway bars, I plan to use the Hotchkis 3101 super grease. Would like to know what had work best.

I can't speak to that grease specifically, but I use synthetic Amzoil  grease in all spots of my car.

Thanks. I picked up two tubes of Redline from Summit, mainly based on reviews. Synthetic base same as the Amsoil. One thing I noticed was that the consistency is very much different from the green color grease I used in the past long ago. Will see how well it work.
