What makes the 02 Ranger front wheel bearings different from any other wheel bearing?
Do you have to ask, Kestas? It's "in the book". That's the only difference I can tell! And, by now, you should know about my "by the book" fetish.
Other than Ford's M1C75B spec., I would like to know the difference too. Somewhere, I read that spec. regarded some "wear scar" test.
When queried about Valvoline Ford vs. Duralube grease, they wrote back:
"Both greases will meet this particular Ford specification, which basically means that the grease has to contain at least 1% Molybdenum Disulfide in the formula. The DuraBlend Grease is the better product, as this synthetic blended grease will handle higher temperatures for disc wheel bearing applications."
The Durablend does not list meeting the Ford spec. on the website. Their "Ford" grease is a lithium hydroxystearate, has low temp. ratings, yet says it's good for Ford disc. brake wheel bearings.....confusing.
Odd, but I thought that only Lithium complex greases with higher temp ratings were suitable for disc. brake wheel bearings.
I will go with the Durablend or Synpower grease unless I find something better on the local shelves. The info on the valvoline website is a bit confusing.
