IMHO I would be very surprised if just any Molybdendium DiSuphide would do in a CV application. There are real forces at work in there and the cost consequence of using an inferior product just isn't worth the risk. Barring using the $$ VW stuff, use FLAP's Molybdendium DiSuphide designated for CV joints preferably CV Moly specified for truck or farm equipment.
