bearing grease

[cozadlance2]

k. my buddy here who sits in the coffeeshop is telling me to ask you guys about something called "urea grease" and won't quit bugging me until I do. according to him, it is the hottest thing since ford trucks.

[FORDification]

He's referring to Poly-urea grease, essentially a high-temp grease used in bearings and CV joints.

is it the thing to use in my f250 rear wheel bearings or do i stick with the good old stuff in my grease gun basic drum brake and grease fittings- the tube reads- that i did my grease zerks with? thanks.

[fordman]

i wouldnt use it for that. no. i liek the old fashion thin wheel bearing grease. i dont care for multi grease.

[FORDification]

No, the stuff in your grease gun is light-duty lithium grease, it won't stand up to the heat generated by bearings.

[cozadlance2]

what do they call the product my drum brake equipped f250 would need for bearings? just making sure, forgive my density.
