Newb Question, what grease?

[ozziemo27]

What kind of grease do I need for the bearing setup dealie that at the connection of my front driveshaft to my transfercase. This is on my 99, btw. And could you tell me the correct terminology for this joint/bearing/whatever. Sorry for the newbness, I would search it but i am unaware of the correct term...

ignore the MANNNNNN filter, that was for my friend's VW, lol

your auto parts store should have CV grease available

According to the service manual, it's non-serviceable.

Being its a constant velocity joint, I would use CV joint grease for it tho. You can get it at pretty much any auto parts store. Its high temp, high pressure grease that is very high in Moly content.

Edit: beat me to it Scott.

Thankyou! and what is this joint called?

 

[Nhaz]

Its called a CV joint or Constant Velocity joint. And they were one of my common repairs on hondas. If its starting to go crunch crunch crunch. Its pretty much done. You can regrease them but one of the bearings or more then one of the bearings is out of round or has worn a flat spot and has prolly been eating the cage that holds the bearings as well.

Really, huh, alright then, thanks!

Actually, CV joints are pretty common on ALL FWD vehicles. I remeber my dad swapping out a few on our minivan once or twice.
