I'm pretty good with oil, but this grease thing has me confused. There's just too many options and types. I'm looking for a grease that works with a set of Moog tie rods in a car application. I'd also like this grease to work with utility trailer bearings, but if necessary, I can buy 2 different types. The area I live in has -35 degree temps in the winter and +35 degree temps in the summer.
There's lithium based, soap based, clay based, moly fotified, moly based, 5% moly, 3% moly, aluminum, extreme pressure, synthetic, green, red, blue, brown, cream, purple.
[censored]? If only it was as simple as buying engine oil.
It seems Ford requires moly, but most everyone else goes for lithium based. The product sheets on both types of grease claim amazing adherence to metal and superior anti-friction.
I'm installing a set of Moog tie rods and they come with grease zerks. The originals lasted 345,000 km's and were sealed. The boots are fine but there is some play in them. I've decided to spend the extra $40 to get Moogs and have peace of mind that theses will be the last tie rods I install in this car.
