Hi all,

 

Happy New Year!!

Replacing all four brake calipers. Since vehicle is on jack stands for this job I figured I would grease all u-joints. Any recommendations on grease to use in the grease gun?

Thanks

Regular chassis grease is fine. U-joints really don't take a large quantity of grease anyway. 👍

Another choice would be Hi-temp, disc brake, wheel bearing grease.
