According to my 1981 BJ42 Owners manual, the recommended grease for Steering knuckle and steering linkage is, Molybdenum-disulfide lithium base, NLGI No. 2.

It's the NLGI 2 that is easier to find rather than asking for the long name and I picked up some Pennzoil at APC auto-parts in Abbotsford. Everything I've read says you need a tub when re-doing your birfs.

It's called a multi-purpose grease NLGI 2. Canadian Tire should have it as well, but the numbers might be slightly different, so be sure. Might be worth checking at Lordo again also.

Cheers,

fwiw I've been using Lubri-Plate moly for birfs and knuckle cavities: http://www.lubriplate.com/pdf/pds/3_21 3000 Series.pdf Use a grease gun, get a needle applicator and fill up the birfs from the inside out.

Lordo has it, not sure who else. Wander in and check it out to see if it suits what you want.

thanks Greg B that lubriplate is the ticket , but wow 13 bucks a tube . how many tubes do you need .
cloverdale had none .langley had 4 tubes, i did not go out there yet . and i did not ask for a discount yet .

Canadian tire has tubes of a grease called "extreme pressure grease" its black and orange on the tube. It'll work just fine for the birfs. Decent price too. That's all I used. It's a moly grease that is black in colour, just what you need. Of course it will not work for the wheel bearings, you need a wheel bearing grease for that. The king pin(pivot bearings) need wheel bearing grease too, not birf grease.

i saw this stuff at princess auto for $3.99 a tube ,it is black and gooy also . has moly and is extreme pressure. Nemco sliver max

any thoughts.

 

[Greg_B]

Price is right. Sounds fine...but up to you.

BB, the knuckle bearings and birf + cavity take the same grease...it is the same cavity. The FSM confirms by saying use a moly disul lith base for the knuckles bearings. For sure use wheel bearing MP grease on the wheel bearings; they are seperated from the knuckle cavity.

Keep in mind that it is not a good policy to mix different greases in the same cavity. When some of these grease mix, they turn into a runny mess. I would avoid cheap the Chinese grease. Yes, wheel bearings are separated from the birfs, so they are able to take different types of grease.
BTW, I told my wife to avoid ANY Chinese imported food of any kind. We have spent considerable time in China, and their food growing and food marketing hygene is absolutely filthy. If you see it once, you will avoid having anything to do with it.

Pfff, when was the last time you heard of a Chinese restaurant getting closed for hygiene reasons? Never!

at one of my favorite restraunts, does this mean they gather road kill ?

So what did you use? BTW, was at John Deere picking up some low beam HIR lights for the 80 and looked around the store a bit. Anyone know the supplier to JD for their greases and oils? They had some lith/moly in the tube. They still carry slip-plate, and fluid film, and all sorts of stuff on the shelves that look interesting...

Do they have a good stock of 24V bulbs and electrics?

 

[Greg_B]

Dunno John. These are 12V for an FZJ80. How much farm equipment is 24V?

I asked them (at Friesen) when I was getting lawn mower items; all their tractors are 12V.

Just checked on-line and found that John Deere and Allis had 24V tractors. When I was in at Lordco the other day, the older guy was telling me that a lot of the equiptment used on the deep port was 24V. He use to work at their Delta store which did a lot of industrial parts supply. BTW, they had 3 W wedge bulbs in stock. Four of them only cost $6 - cheaper than the 12V equivalent on the shelves. I am sure there are many 24V applications out there which have electrical components a 24V Cruiser or Safari could use at a much cheaper cost than OEM. It just takes time to find them.
Hijack out.
