3 Different types of CV grease... which one goes where?
 
I just purchased the CV re-boot kit from pelican for my '91 C4 but I don't know which grease goes where....

Three different types of CV grease are in the kit:
1) GKN moly grease (included with boots)
2) Swepco 101 Moly (14.4oz tube)
3) LiquiMoly long life (2x 100g tube)

Initial intuition is ignore the GKN grease and pack all 8 CV joints equally with both Swepco and LiquiMoly... is this correct or are there specific compounds for specific joints? Then I question if one tube of Swepco + 2 tube of LiquiMoly is even enough for that.

I appreciate any guidance you may have.

I just repacked mine. I threw the GKN in the bin and used Castrol LMM grease. Swepco isn’t readily available here or I would have used that. As for the Liquid moly I wouldn’t bother. Swepco is plenty good enough.

The kit came with three different greases?

You can use any of them. For a street car, I don't think it matters too much. I'd use the swepco in the CV joints as it is a known good product.

I'd save the other stuff for other use cases.

Sounds good. I'll just use the Swepco on all the CV joints... if there isn't enough, I'll just buy another tube.
