What's the correct type of grease to use for tailshaft uni-joints and slip-joints? Lithium-based bearing grease, or moly-based swivel hub and CV grease? Does it matter? I keep both types because wheel bearings/hubs use lithium based grease and moly grease is for the cv's and swivel hubs.

Ta.
 
I use moly the same that I put in the knuckles just so I don’t have two guns, either will work

Same here, but no need to over think it, any decent quality grease is good.

Lithium based grease is my preference over clay based grease
 
The bearing grease would be the better of the two for the needle bearings in the ujoints, but the moly based grease would be better for the slip joint in the middle of the driveshafts.
