Hi just replaced both upper ball joints on a toyota tacoma the joints came with a white grease but instead i used schaeffer's 278 polyurea. i was thinking it had to be better than the toyota grease. what do you think?
 
The 274 is okay but its more of a high speed grease, personally I use the Schaeffer 238 for front end parts, they are slow moving highly loaded parts so the 5% moly really helps.
 
Just replaced the upper ball joints on my F-150 and used 274. Been using it for years and works for me. To Trav's point the 238 does have more moly, but IIRC 274 has 3%, so still a healthy dose.
 
yea the schaeffer's 238 sound great! the upper ball joint is sealed for life it's greased at installation no zerk. the only grease i had on hand was valvoline synpower and schaeffer's 278 so i went with the 278.
