| axle grease?...
What grease should I use in the axle? Everything is dry. Can I use marine grease through all the axle? Thanks! |

I have been using a tub of the cheap multipurpose wheel beaing grease from Walmart for years without issue. Also used the marine grease when things had a chance of getting wet. Any grease is fine as long as your using it. I wouldn't recommend scooping it by spoon into the axle. Just a little here and there on the gear teeth is good.

No diffs are of open design. If your crawling with them I would either buy lockers or epoxy them. |
