Slip Yolk(shaft) Lubrication

Nov 11, 2003 10 Replies

This might get allot of input, or everyone might agree on the same thing(yea right). I was informed that typical wheel bearing grease is a no no in the slip yolk(shaft) of a driveshaft(not including the slip yolk(shafts) going into the t-case itself). I was told that you want to use the same type of grease that is used in CV joints(not the 2 u-joint type). Something related to the high sheer strength of the CV joint grease and the high torque and sliding of the slip yolk(shaft). Any illumination on this?


IGNORE THIS ONE AND SEE THE THIRD ATTEMPT!!!

Once the message propagates thru news servers he cant cancel it.

I've just tried canceling my message in reply to attempt 1, Yolk Lube. Now to see if it dissapears.

Yea, I found what you guys were talkin about and it never removed either of em...

Out curiosity, I removed this news group (deleting all the messages locally) and redownloaded all the messages. And this entire thread is still present. I believe there are two things, one is not all news services allow deleting messages, and second, once the message propagates (which can happen right away) the message cannot be deleted. THis way threads cannot be broken up.

Cheers
