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??

After 60 years of putzing around with vehicles I will have to agree. By the way, Timken makes bearings and **** good bearings. They are not in the petroleum/lubricant business. Putting their name i=on a petroleum product sounds like marketing. I suspect their grease is no different from most any other.
I would agree, not quite 60, but 50 plus years I have been dealing with bearings, the important thing is that the bearing is pre loaded , and packed correctly . Then tightened with the correct pressure . I couldn't tell you how many different brands of grease I have used in that 50 years on bearings ,and have yet to have a bearing failure.
I do get a kick out of some of the replies here, but the last few years , the two brands as said I have used is synthetic . Mobile 1 ,and the Red N Tacky. Haven't seen any oozing . ;)
