Re: Which Grease for U joints
OK just a quick update has the handbook states Molybdenum disulfide lithium base NGLI no.2 grease, the Castrol MS grease meets this spec after quite an intensive research on grease. For use on driveshafts and CV joints on the IFS.

Which Grease for U joints
Hi guys, just need some confirmation for the IFS the handbook states NGLI 2 grease for the front CV joints which is also speced for the U-joints, so am I correct in using Castrol MS grease which is NGLI 2, for both applications.
Or which grease would you guys recommend?
