Sure it's been asked before but I can't find the answer.

thanks

Normal LM grease, same as wheel bearings is fine, you don't need anything special for U/Js just grease them regularly

But CV joint grease is a fabulous 'upgrade' for the joints...

Done with LM grease now, perhaps I'll upgrade them next time

Don't mix the two Lithium grease is ideal for the job which for main part is keeping water out.

Moly grease is ideal for sliding contact but normal "Hardy-Spicer" needle roller joints have only rolling contact -- using MS grease will tend to make the rollers skid shortening thier life.


Also don't over grease it can burst the seals.
