Redoing my front bushings and stuff so I also removed the rotors from the spindles so I could repack the bearings and replace the seals. Is there a certain type or brand name of wheel bearing grease that I should look for?
Thanks

I always replace seals once they're removed from the hub.... Cheap insurance.

I did all new parts and grey silicone high temp wheel bearing grease.  Good so far.
