Quoting prove_it:
You might be able to get your hands on some CV boot grease. If you buy a boot kit it should come with a pack of grease. That stuff is meant to be used in that sytle of joint, could work better.
^^^Good call, and very good advice!
For traditional applications, it's the way to go. Prepackaged with the correct quantity of a grease suitable for the apllication.
However, if you run a lot at higher speeds, what you're looking for is a product called
Redline Cv 2
Chassis style greases are not a very good match for the speed/loading a c.v. "sees". While they generally have a moly additive package, and will handle the loading well, their drop point (temp where it runs away from the loading is much too low)
Traditional lithium driveline greases are getting harder to find. In addition they are really more suited to u-joint service, where centrifigual force keeps the grease in the area of the load.
Mixing greases with different bases is bad
juju, so be sure to clean the joint thoroughly before regreasing.
Redline CV2 is specifically engineered for this application and has served me well for many years of high speed motoring. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
