Can you use CV joint grease on wheel bearings?
As a result, the roller develops flat spots, and its service life is reduced. In addition, CV joint grease is often manufactured to NLGI Grade 1 and would therefore not be suitable for automotive wheel bearings.
What kind of Grease do you use for roller bearings?
Greases containing moly are recommended for roller bearings subjected to very heavy loads and shock loading, especially in slow or oscillating motion such as found in universal joints and CV joints.
