db1926 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Just wondering what kind of lub people use in the universal joints on the 4 cylinder and early 6 cylinder cars. The owner's manual specifically says not to use cup grease. Thanks, BC.
pepstrebeck Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I have always just used the same grease for the universal joints that I have used for both wheel bearings and suspension.
Guest brian Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Use chassis lube. The same grease used to grease suspension fittings. Cup grease was very high viscosity, temperature resistant grease used in the earlier "cup" fittings often found on water pumps. There was a screw cap on top of the cup; it was removed, it and the cup filled with grease and the cup replaced. Then, as grease was required the cup was screwed down a turn or two and greas was forced into the bearing.
