Title: CV Lith Moly Grease
Post by: Tefer on 24 May 2016, 07:43:31 pm
Can I use this when doing my shock bearings or should I take it back to Halfrauds for something else..

Then yes, would be suitable, I've a tub of Lith and it gets used for everything bar the brakes.

Cheers, thought I'd bought the wrong stuff. I'll get the shock changed and degrease the bearings in linkage.

I have been looking into grease recently and although any will, do they are all mostly based on oil with extra stuff to make it thicker - or stickyer or better for constant turning (CV ) or better  crush properties or better for waterproofing, rubber grease based on veg oil and not petroleum oil and so on.
So I would suggest that the very best you can use would be something better suited to the application which is crushing rather than constant velocity (CV).
Thats just what I have picked up from (too munch ) reading on the subject.
Cause thats what I do ------ I over think things

I dont like CV grease because it looks all grey and dirty, I like white grease and have a tub of Finish line teflon grease for light duty stuff and will be getting some silkoline RG2 grease - that looks like yummy red jam for heaver duty stuff like when I do the swing arm and suspension brackets.
