Subject:Re: CV Joint Packing Grease?
From:Eric Zeno

CV joint grease contains  IIRC moly-disulfide (sP)  Special for
high pressure areas.  This is what came with the joint.  Don't waste your
money or time with anything else.

    BTW there is a place here, right in
the burgh, that you can get the joints, boot, grease, even clamps
cheaper and much better quality, than any place on the WEB.
