I'm ready to put the engine back in and am wondering if there is a difference in Lithum vs axle grease to be used to pack the CV jts.
Thanks, Larry |

A good quality clean (fresh) molybdenum disulfide grease is typically sufficient for CV joints.
The BEST stuff I have used (produces NO WEAR on my Turbo rear Wheel Bearings AND CV Joints) is close to unafordable, but it is a High Temperature/High Pressure KRYTOXfluorinated grease. It is the only grease I know of that won't drop out until it sees an incredible temperature (650 deg F). I have seen that some race teams have found out about it and have used it, but the stuff is about $200/16 oz. tube. This is the stuff of rocket science. I got mine from work. While it works great, they have some stern warnings about not getting it on your skin and not smoking around it (you don't want to inhale the fumes). Anyway, I just thought I would throw that out there as molybdenum disulfide is not the ONLY solution. |
