How much grease in the front knuckles and around ABS speed sensors

[airdzi]

What is general consensus on greasing front knuckles and inner knuckle seal , the one CV axle rides in?
Was thinking 1/8 full (got to leave room for the bearing) of quality marine water resistant grease.

Or - should I put the bearing (attach hub) and fill the void?

Or would just the slim coating be more appropriate?

Ok to put some around speed sensor or avoid greasing particular area?

When I recently pulled my front hubs on 2010 I only had tiny speckle of white grease left on the outer non sensing side of the speed sensor. My old bearings were still kind of OK but seals were pretty much toast and rusted with bearing seal having most integrity left, knuckle seal dry and somewhat damaged and CV axle so called dust seals were pretty much destroyed and likely caused damage to knuckle seals.

Most talk about bearing and knuckle seals but from my experience in the rust belt I would not skip CV Dust Seal part # 90304-94001 because if that one goes it would sure take the knuckle seal with it. May not seem like an important seal at first but only to the point, see below - after pulling rubber with pliers below shows what I was able to knock out of outer axles

For a 200 series? There’s a sealed bearing—don’t grease anything in there, especially not the ABS sensor. The axle seals are there to keep water out.

Look at the lines, red arrows, 2 black lines left by double lipped inner knuckle seal, sealing outer spinning axle to the stationary knuckle, without grease I would likely ruin that seal running it dry to the metal, sealed bearing would not splatter much grease there due to being sealed, can you confirm it should run dry?

There was some white grease around the speed sensor from the factory unless it leaked from the sealed bearing

I would just replace the seal if you're already in there doing this.

That was always my plan!
