CV grease?

[bobfather]

I need to regrease one of my outboard CV joints. Is there a specific grease for this or will generic axel grease do?

You need proper CV grease.

Redline CV2 is never a bad bet for this (and wheel bearings).

Should be Moly grease in CV joints.

Thanks chaps

There would be a pouch of grease in the box when you buy a new boot. I assume the one that's on there is in A1 condition? Personally I'd be changing it if going to the bother.

This is the sachet you get in a kit.

Boot came loose and sprayed its contents all round the wheel arch. Just needs a regrease and tightening up

I had an inner one split last year, I'm still getting a minging hand whenever I do something in the area dispite the hour on axle stands with a jet wash
