Subject:      CV joint grease on tapered roller bearings?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Anybody have experience or knowledge of the dangers or benefits of using
molybdenum disulfide (CV joint) grease on tapered roller bearings such as
those found in the front end of 2wd vanagons?

CV grease has superior "sticking" qualities, I just wasn't sure if it can
hold up to the heat and velocity of wheel bearings.



Anybody actually tried this and what was the result?
