Wheel bearing grease...

Anyone want to make a recommendation? I have a container of "Multipurpose Grease" that does say for wheel bearings on the label, but the stuff seems very light. Just like a can of Vaseline.

I use the blonde colored wheel bearing grease made by Quaker State or Castrol. It works very well on wheel bearings.

Years ago I had some of the really old stringy wheel bearing grease.. It was about the consistency of Crisco...

My mechanic friend, who I have a lot of respect for, was just crackin up when he saw I was going to use it to pack some wheel bearings.. Told me it was really old school and the more modern greases were much better....

I saw where Eberg of Mopar Action recommended Mopar Grease 4318064. I've never tried it.

I have used the mobile one red grease for many years on wheel bearings and ball joints.

same here

I think that is the green grease. I got a tube just from his recommendation. way back there was something about "long fiber' grease is what you want. I never did grasp what that was about

Minivan mentioned it up above. my grandfather had that stuff back in the day.

In my 4th current Tacoma PU I have owned since new, this one with 378K miles, I decided today to change out the original front discs. That meant removing the hubs/bearings, which have never been serviced. The yellow OEM grease, still looked pretty good, and I figured if the bearings were of good enough quality to show zero signs of wear after all these miles, I couldn't figure out why to replace them with today's new junk. Bottom line, that grease must be pretty decent, whatever it is.

I found the other Eberg article that talked about the long fibre grease. Seems it referred to using it on just the tie rod ends.

I'd have to check but I think the middle tube with the blue lettering is the green grease I got & the dealer sold me (1) tube (he might had ten in stock at one time)

The Mopar high temp wheel bearing grease was #4318064. Now if you ask for that they'll sell you 05083150AA instead. I have a black tube of the old with a little bit left in it, and a silver tube of stuff with the new part # and they look the same (dark green).

The long fiber multi-mileage lube is for suspension, steering, and u-joints.

Been using the Valvoline hi temp multi purpose. Just bought a new tub of synthetic.
With the modern sealed hub bearings, don't have a big need to repack anymore.

Neil just to confirm, all (3) of the tubes pictured are the long fiber good stuff?

They appear to be the same. I own a silver tube like the one in the middle, and if you go to a Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep dealership and ask for the long fiber grease that's what you'll get.

The ones on the left and right I have not seen. I suppose they are older and the labels are just different???

I have always been able to buy single tubes of both the wheel bearing and MM lube. I know the Mopar Action article says you have to buy a case, but my local Dodge dealership has been fine with selling me a single tube, or whatever number of tubes as I ask for individually.

thank you Neil, I have the middle tube & just wanted to confirm it is the good stuff. I'm almost positive it was green grease & was the part # Eberg said to get

When I apprenticed for an old Italian guy in 72 he called it horse grease. Said it was made from horses IDK. We had a 20 gallon bucket full and used it on everything,that was some sticky stinky stringy stuff. Made by Gulf IIRC.

I've always been a fan of Pennzoil 707L. Red lithium high temp.

I like the Mercedes Benz wheel bearing grease its also green & was free when I worked for MB.

There are different grades of Grease and should not noted on the label somewhere. I can't remember the designations, but it is something like GL. Of course you want the higher rating you can afford.
