Default What type of grease do you use?
I've been using sta-plex extreme pressure premium red grease for my wheel bearings and recently switch over to it for my tie rods and ball joints.

So what type do you guys use for wheel bearings, tie rods, ball joints, u-joints etc?

I like Lucas red & tacky, use it at work and home. But in a pinch I'll use whatever I can get, I figure grease > no grease

Since greasing the bearings is typically something that is only done at brake jobs every 5 to 7 years, I use Amsoil grease.

I guess some people just don't understand what the spellcheck red underline means. LOL

Timken red wheel bearing grease for wheel bearings. Then use royal purple synthetic for all grease fittings.
