I'm getting ready to do ball joints & rotors on my truck. the Ford service manual calls for Ford 4x4 wheel bearing grease & 4x4 gear oil. I know they would love to sell me their high priced lube, but is there a difference with this stuff and regular
gear lube & bearing grease ? What do you guys use ?

Thanks, John

 

an wheel bearing grease that has an "EP" label is fine, there is no gear oil in your ft hubs.

 

Id go with the blue marien greas as its water proof.

 

Thanks for the replies. I kind of thought that a good bearing grease would work. I was asking about the gear lube because I'm going to change the lube out while i'm doing the rest of the project.

Thanks again , John

 

For the gear oil any gear oil that meets weight of waht they reccomend should work if you have a limmited slip in the rear you may need some additive.
