On building up my TM2 I lubed up all the UJ/Dogbone joints with the white lithium grease that you can buy from cycle shops - i've been using this on the joints of my touring car driveshafts for a while now & have noticed much reduced wear - we used it on the Dogbones of the car we raced in the 24hr event at Ardent last year where in the previous year outdrive wear had been a major issue but we experienced very little if no wear over the 24hrs of constant running (although admittedly this car was only running a 17.5 on 'Blinky' with a more forgiving drivetrain)
Obviously time will tell as to whether this lubricant helps extend the life of my driveshaft/output parts on the TM2 but its got to worth a try!
