Here's a link to, "How to rebuilding your front axle", it might have some helpful information for you.

5% moly is a little much for rollers, IMO

The tech spec sheet does not mention wheel bearings, looks good however for the Birfield CV joints. Wait until Monday and call the Mobil tech help line and ask: 800/275/6624

the bearing seal thats pressed in after the wheel bearing and race and installed, does it keep the greases separated? im not thinking of the axle seal that keeps the grease and diff oil separated ...

 

[Kernal]

If you're referring to the hub seal on the inboard aspect of the hub, it keeps water and dust out of the wheel bearings, and the grease in.

thats the seal im thinking of...well crap

What's the problem?

 

[RedJed78]

I was hoping the inboard seal would keep the greases apart.
nothing failed...still waiting for the birf cv joints to arrive.

That grease will work for the birfs, but do NOT use moly grease for wheel bearings. Moly will cause rollers to slide and will make the wear worse.

I use Lucas oil red-n-tacky #2 for the wheel bearings. It runs cooler and tighter than the other wheel bearing grease I've used.

Both Valvoline Palladium (3% Moly) and Valvoline Synpower (2-1/2% Moly) are both approved for wheel bearings. Having said that I've been using Mobil 1 synthetic grease for my wheel bearings, Palladium for everything else including U-joints.

I have no idea how to close a thread...but the question has been answered by Kernal.

thank you all
