the best grease?
wow.well i dunno about brand,but without even researching,id have to guess some type of marine synthetic for sure.likely any brand will do ya.
like always, it's the good maintenance that matters more than brand name.

I would go with a good brand an I like to use marine grease cause it doesn't wash off nearly as fast as other grease and I'm pretty sure that high temp grease on the wheel bearings I mix the two an it works good for me

Like the other members said, most brands will work ok what matters most is that You do it regularly. I like to use Lucas grease or valvoline and I do it every time I change the oil.

After going through mud, water, dirt, sand and driving hundreds of miles on the street the only grease I use in wheelbearings, u joints, ball joints and anything else that needs to be greased is lucas red and tacky.I've tried high quality marine grease...i'd swear that crap absorbed water and dirt like a sponge, it didn't last half as long as red and tacky does.when I grease the u joints and tie rods the grease coming out is always still red.

For the last 30-plus years, I have always insisted on Kendall L-427 Super-Blu, available in gun-tubes and plastic tubs of various sizes.

I will use NOTHING ELSE.

In heavily off-roaded 4x4 hubs, with questionable seals and even missing seals, even after several years, the grease is always still blue and quite clean looking.

Just about every other highly acclaimed grease I have ever used will be all brown and rusty-looking in short order.

That's just my opinion; y'all are free to use whatever you wish.

I use Lucas Red and Tacky in everything from trucks and cars, tractors and farm equipment, bulldozer and backhoe, and all kinds of logging equipment over the years. When greasing things the old grease coming out almost always looks and red as the new going in. IMO one of the best out there.

what ever brand you choose make dang sure it is a EP grease - Extreme pressure or the oil will squeeze out of the base thickener and all you will have is a gooey sludge without the oil to lube it

The best grease if you ask me, is regularly greased



I grease everything greaseble on my trucks every single oil change (3k miles).

I'm a mech in a class 8 truck shop. We haul poles (telephone and high line). We grease every 15000 miles. This is a wet service so oil and filters also. Try to get king pins half way between. We use mystik synthetic grease. The grease does a great job staying with its carrier. A good way to judge grease is how long it will stay tacky...or in its carrier and not turn to oil under pressure and in heat. Oil in the grease does the lubricating...its in a carrier that gives it the tackiness to stick.

I prefer to use the Amsoil series 3000 racing grease but if I m in a jam I'll use Lucas, its pretty good stuff in high load conditions

We use John Deere brand, dunno who makes it, but if its good enough for JD its good enough for me. For wheel bearings dont use regular grease as mentioned, get the high pressure or specifically bearing grease. Dunno what brand it is but our tub of bearing grease is red, and veerrry tacky, cant get that crap off your fingers with a pound of soap and a dozen rags.
