What's the difference between a dedicated CV grease and, say, a "high temp disc brake wheel bearing" grease? Are my wheels going to fall off because I shot 15 pumps (htwb grease) each, from my grease gun, into all four of my axle boots? 15 pumps (x4) used up ~one pint of high temp WB grease... The joints are now much happier....but did I create a caustic mix with the two greases, something that is eating those CVs? No time to do a complete service right now, therefore the short cut and "grease I had"... |
