IMHO 
I would be very surprised if just any Molybdendium DiSuphide would do in
a CV application. There are real forces at work in there and the cost
consequence of using an inferior product just isn't worth the risk.
Barring using the $$ VW stuff, use FLAP's Molybdendium DiSuphide
designated for CV joints preferably CV Moly specified for truck or farm
equipment.
