I would suggest you contact Elaphant Racing and ask them. Chuck is great about answering questions like that.

Hi. I just installed mine. The directions state: "Note -- PolyBronze Spring Plate Bearings should be lubricated at installation and every 3,000 mile intervals or annually. Race cars should lubricate more frequently. Use quality moly grease." For quality moly grease, I bough the most expensive moly grease, which was the only moly grease ;-)

HTH.

I used this. It works great on axle U/Js which are exposed to enormous forces, water, sand etc...

CV grease can be the easiest to get.

from your site

"This grease is engineered with PurePower! EHP® to bond to metals and provide the greatest film strength available to ensure the best possible lubricant protection for industrial as well as fleet and automotive use."


I like grease that sticks like glue. I take a dab between index & thumb and see the distance stretched by the grease.

I bought that stuff from Performance before computer/Pelican days to use on my Welt street t-bar bushings. It was listed as suspension bushing grease. It's trully gorilla snot once you see it.
