    Best Synthetic Grease

    I am leaning this toward Sue, because you live in AZ and you know everything!!! What is the best synthetic grease....what do you use and do you use it on wheelbearings and drive shaft.....no one laugh at me, I hate the search option!

    Wow, you give me far too much credit Lisa! I'm good at finding and shopping but stink at mechanical/technical things....I defer to Dub, Triathlete, T4B and the rest for that kind of info! I just had my wheel bearings repacked last week and don't even know what kind of grease they used. But 'll learn somethin' new when somebody answers you

    I don't know about synthetic grease, but Isuzu says our rear drive shaft u-joints require NLGI No. 2 with the M0S2 additive. So that's what I use. Ya can get it anywhere, even Walmart has it.

    I just checked the repair manual and that's also the grease they mention for the inner and outer wheel bearings. I suppose if there's a synthetic that says it's an acceptable substitute for NLGI No. 2, it would work just fine.

    I'm confused. you started out talking about grease for the wheel bearings and U-Joints. Now you're talking about the rear differential which takes oil, not grease.

    Rekin I'll just have to go with Ldub on this one & recommend 'minty fresh'.

    Thanks Tom, I was always talking grease....it was deermagnet that brought up the rear diff so I just said I never used an additive in mine. I am trying to find the royal purple grease which has to be ordered.....I dont need any help on the fluids
