Axle shaft slip joint

[ab_slack]

Looks like I finally need to pull apart my right axle shaft again as the final u-joint has gone.

Since I'll be pulling this apart, for the slide joint (not sure of proper name) on this axle shaft, what is the proper type of lube/grease that should be used.

And while I am under there I think I may drop the front drive shaft and make sure that is good because it is easy. What would be the right type of lube/grease for the driveshaft to transfer case splines?

Thanks

I've always used PTFE grease.

That part is called the slip-yoke, or sometimes, slip-joint.

CV joint lube (extreme-pressure molybdenum grease) has always worked well for me.
