Hello,

U can use Schumacher U1957 High pressure grease for all rotating bearing and axle applications. Filled with Molybdenum for extreme lubrication. Do NOT get this grease near your diffs as the balls will NOT get any drive through this stuff!

Hope this will help u further.

thanks for help and speaking of diffs - how tight to make the ball diffs - should they really be tight so that there is no whatsoever when both sides are locked, don't want to put undue pressure on the thrust bearing...

plus can i leave this un threadlocked or will it just work its way loose like that?
