Hello,
I have a Trailblazer SS and have replaced this part before it seems that it's a poor design by GM rather than the component itself being weak. They chose to use grease instead of gear oil. The grease eventually comes off the shaft and the splines get twisted. Here's the part I'm referring too.

My plan is to drill a fitting so I can regrease it every so often without having to remove the part. What's the best grease you guys would suggest for this? I have attached a picture of the aftermath when it failed the first time.
I've narrowed it down to 3 choices:
Redline cv-2 with moly
Amsoil Dominator racing grease with Calcium Sulfinoide
Royal Purple Ultra High Performance with Aluminum
Thanks for the help.
