But seriously the CV axle grease mixed with the wheel bearing grease puts up with the shock load requriments of that area much better than just grease.. (think of what a CV shaft has to put up with).

and like I said.. instead of just ending up all in one place like grease does... this stuff tends to migrate around in the bearing...

I used to have problems in this area on 3000mile offroad trips. but ever since swaping to this home made mix. I can come home from a 6000mile offroad trip, and everything looks like the day I put it together....
