    Paragon 3000 in CV joint ?

    What's the consensus on using TRC Paragon 3000 in a CV joint ? Seems to be an ideal grease for my VW GTI race car...we have had a CV joint failure and I am putting in new axles, figured I'd upgrade the grease while I am at it and I have many tubes of the Paragon 3000 grease here.
