What are you calling low friction bearings? Ceramic angular contact? When talking to one of the bearing suppliers, I was told to use Super Lube grease ( in squeze tube, available from GM) and a few drops of Tri-Flo oil. Mostly to keep the races from rusting, he commented that they can actually run with no grease at all, but didn't recommend it. We didn't see the cost of the bearings was worth itat the time, with our relatively small budget, maybe in the future.Josh K.

Im not being smart here, really,but ive heard it all now low friction grease really???
And ive got ocean front property in az for sale at 100,000.00 an acre,but to help on the post oil filled hubs,they have had them on semi trucks for years,thats as good as it gets,i dont think anyone in any kind of racing has been beat by grease,there is more to find on how much to preload your bearings,just saying
ALSO BRAKE DRAG,IF ITS DRAGGING NOW HOW MUCH IS IT DRAGGING WHEN ITS HOT AND EVERYTHING EXPANDSLast edited by grt74; 12-16-2012, 07:36 PM.

All I asked was if there is a particular grease that is better. Didn't think it was that complicated.

The cheapest ep2 grease will be fine,ep stands for extreme pressure,if you want moly thats fine to but make sure its ep2 and approved for disc brakes,for the heat,but you can spend alot on some different greases and when its all said and done its the same stuff,they do make ep2 thats water proof but most places dont carry it youll have to order it
