    Default Knuckle cavities

    I'm doing some front end work. What do I fill the knuckle cavities with? I believe I removed the OEM grease. Thanks.-TB

    The manual says to use grease....like wheel bearing grease...pump it in with a grease gun till its full to the fill plug.

    Others use gear oil like civvy trucks use....

    Others mix 50/50 gear oil and grease and make what is called "knuckle pudding".

    Personally, I use grease.

    Are these greases of a viscosity that allows them to flow somewhat?

    Once they get warm to hot...yes. The corhead grease is more akin to the knuckle pudding idea...so it should flow easier.
