Before taking a 3K trip I purchased Exxon Lidok CG Moly premium chassis grease to do my vehicles. This is an NLGI #2 grease with molybdenum disulfide& enhanced anti-friction properties. I needed it quick and saw the moly so figured it was good. It is black as pitch in color.
Now my problem and question. When I returned from my trip the ball joints ect. were dripping with oil and the rubber boots were empty. Now I did totally pump out the old grease with the Exxon. My question is: where did I go wrong? If a grease depletes in 3K miles I need something else. The moly portion worked as the steering feels somewhat lighter, especially on my John Deere lawn tractor. But where did the grease go on my truck?
