Originally Posted By: IH8mush Yes it is and they put it in grease, hence the "Plastic Grease" Source? There are plenty of greases that use LDPE. I haven't seen one that uses UHMWPE. It doesn't seem like it would make sense given the molecular structure of UHMWPE. Back to the topic at... -

Originally Posted By: Tempest Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is NOT a grease. It's plastic. Wasting your breath, man. I had a whole reply typed up with the differences between LDPE, HDPE, HMWPE, UHMWPE, PTFE. Then I deleted the whole thing. No point, really. -

One discussion: http://forums.vintage-mustang.com/vintage-mustang-forum/589104-window-track-grease.html I've always just used sil-glide or the spray can of white lithium, but a dry silicone spray might have better longevity. Another brief thread here... -

That's precisely correct. If the grease/oil/whatever in the knuckle cavity was thin enough, it could flow via that path to the wheel bearings. Frank claims that the bushing is designed to promote such flow, and hilariously claims to be able to justify that with "mechanical engineering"... -

I have real-world experience with THIS JOINT in THIS AXLE. Not as much as Rix, but a whole lot more than Frank. My experience says that a birfield packed with a #2 grease will remain packed even after speeds over 1000rpm. Been there, seen it with my own eyes. The only way that grease gets out... -

Back to the original question, does Amsoil GWR fit the bill? I'm not sure on the moly content, but it's a lithium-complex #2 with "EP additives". -
