Wheel bearing greases.
Need to do a maintenance repack on two bay windows front wheel bearings (78 & 79).Seem to recall an entry that discussed a synthetic blend that was better than straight lithium. Could that reference be Valvoline Durablend or another product? What's the current thinking on wheel bearing lube for our cars? RDL

Re: Wheel bearing greases.
I moved your question here. Just above is a wheel bearing repack thread. Durablend is excellent, but you use less of it in the hub because it flows more successfully at very high temperatures.Psucamper wrote:Need to do a maintenance repack on two bay windows front wheel bearings (78 & 79).Seem to recall an entry that discussed a synthetic blend that was better than straight lithium.
