Front bearings, rotors, pads, and bushing (?) - too much?

The FSM was also written for my rig 15+ years ago. The greases i used are rate for bearing use. 5% moly will have a minimal effect on heat, say instead of a 40-60% moly grease.

Quick advice on bearing grease..

Chewbacca's Birfield Grease Guide

This not to cause a fight, but people have used moly before in both for both of the axles and it has done just fine.

True, but Amsoil GPOR2 at least in print does not recommend for high speed or wheel bearings.
When I called Amsoil, they said: "it is the wrong application do not use", this call, was on the older stuff. But I used and not happy with result.

Your bearings in the picture looked good, did you use moly 30K miles ago? Did you drive long distances at highway speed a good amount of miles?

My bearings looked good in picture (after 30K w/Moly), but when I looked at them with a 10X magnifying glass I found scoring and pitting. My bearings where not in very good condition when I bought (preload to lose). So I tried the older moly in hopes of re-calcifying (renewing). The highway speeds took it's toll on them. They are still usable, but I'll be changing out all wheel and axle bearings along with races and bushings at next service (200K miles). At that time I'll not use moly, unless I find they have come out with a moly that states; high speed or wheel bearing/chassis grease.
