Best wheel bearing grease
How is Lucas Red N Tacky for wheel bearings?? The specs say the drop point is 540 degrees and this is above Dexters recommended range. Anyone know of a better type??

OP...grease and lubes are in their own world and many different ideas about them. I used to use Ford racing grease because of high drop point etc. Then after talking with an engineer that told me if I needed that high of dropping pint I had other problems. When I had a problem with one hub my temp measured with a IR gun was 210 degrees. An axle sitting for long periods of time is not the best for any type machinery. Anyways....After doing a lot research I now use cheap Walmart grease...can get nation wide and don't worry about mixing the "type". "Type" as in base material the grease is made of. Here is a link with good info from National Grease and lube inst. Not exciting reading, that's for sure but lots of info. https://www.nlgi.org/faqs-lubricating-grease/
FAQ number 9 and 10 applies to RV's IMO. A lot of sitting and not being used does take a toll.
