[diesel_mercedes] CV Joint Grease ?

 

I thought I'd asked this but don't see it so here goes....(? again ?)

I'm getting ready to clean, re pack and re boot a pair of German LOBRO annular CV drive axles and didn't see any CV specific grease at my F.L.A.P.S. .

So, what all do you guys use or recommend ? .

Brand and typ please, vendor info too if you know who carries it .

TIA,

-Nate

I've got steel rectangular bar drops from my Adirondack Pavillion,    6" x 4+ x 1/4" thick.

Do you have a way to cut it?  Just one? It's free as is.  I'm not sure of the cost of shipping from NH.

Nate,

Check with these guys. They've got an LA location.

I've been to their OC location, and they had lots of pre-cut steel:

You might try searching the internet using google. This is one light read that might nudge something in the memory.

Keep on.  Bill

Are your tires wearing down (smaller diameter) so the fuel consumption is getting worse?

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '84 300CD Slushbox

 

 

A/C run almost constsntly, Bibor used, mixed City Highway driving, this after I installed the BOSCH rebuilt injection pump ~ the car runs great, still emits a little bit of gray/black smoke when I pull away from a dead stop .

 

low fuel lamp lit @ 389 miles .

 

410 miles, 19 gallons, I get 22 MPG, am I calculating it wrong ? .

 

I don't see how it can smoke less and get worse fuel economy .
