What Wheel Bearing Grease to use

[WGB]

I am re-bushing my front suspension and will be re-packing the front wheel bearings.

Anybody have any wisdom on what grease to use?

Mercedes specifies a grade to use, check one of the Hayes manuals or buy the Mercedes branded grease from a dealer.

You can't really go wrong with good old Castrol HTB grease.

Hi WGB, years ago I used to purchase my bearings from SKF Bearings - they were usually GENUINE, usually made in France, occasionally in Sweden. They used to sell special cartridges of bearing grease and that was my preference. They may still have a similar system (if you can find an outlet).

I stopped buying from them when I discovered cheaper bearings from Consolidated Bearings even after a 70% trade discount. Such was the situation. Regards Styria
