I am new to this forum and i have been woundering what is the difference between ball bearing grease and cv grease. i am redoing my cv's and want to know what the difference of the two is...

just buy catapillar desert gold grease...its the best for staying in the cv, everything else just flings out of the cv and into the boot.

ok thanks.. is that the only difference

swepco 101 moly. its what i always run. if its good enough for leduc's 900 hp pro 4, its good enough for me

X2 on the Cat Gold

thanks for the replies.. but do you know what the difference is between catapillar desert gold grease or swepco between regular ball bearing grease

Regular ball bearing grease is a very fine film lubricant best for tight clearances in ball bearing - just like it says in its name. Cat desert gold and Swepco are a moly grease - best for metal to metal contact surfaces like cv's. Moly grease is also very tacky and resists 'flying off' of wheres its applied.

Thanks for the replies u have answered my question

I so glad i came across this post, I use the CRC Moly grease and it flys out everywhere. It looks like i will be getting some Catapillar desert gold grease. Thanks guys
