I have new u-joints and a new gimble bearing for my '95 SX Cobra drive that I will be replacing soon here once I'm done using the boat for the season.
On Pablos advice, I was pretty set in using the Amsoil S2000 racing grease on that gimble bearing. It sees up to 5000prm so it seems like that would be a good fit. I am concerned though about it's use on the U-Joints. In the application information it does not say anything about U-Joints where as some of the other greases such as the HD #2 w/Moly specifically lists bearings, u-joints and other chassis parts.
I just want to make sure I get the best grease for the application, and the best protection and best performance out of the grease. The bearings and u-joints are "supposed" to stay dry since they are in a bellow, so I'm not concerned about washout, but once I replace these u-joints, they prob will not see grease for another couple of years so I want to make sure I have something that is going to hold up in a marine condition.
One other quick question. What exactly is "Spline Grease" and is a special grease actually needed for this, or will any grease due?
Thanks for any input.
