Wheel bearing grease

I use “green grease” brand, can get it locally and it’s good and tacky.
Aero shell is some baller grease.
Elbow grease
For wheel bearings no graphite, or moly.
Personally I use HD wheel bearing grease, brownish tan color and stringy. My trailers get red water proof, so does anything else that needs a a grease gun.

Lucas Red-n-Tacky and here's why.
Red and tacky in my grease gun, just not Lucas, is shell.
Probably not too much difference. I use the Lucas Marine when I installed my ball joints. Moog recommends Lucas Marine for that part which I thought was kind of interesting but they listed them by name in the instructions on the website for greasable ball joints. Only got about 500 mi on them before I tore the truck apart but so far so good.
Always used Mobil's red synthetic stuff without any issue.
I just did the ball joints and used red and tacky to fill the new joints. 2 were Moog and 2 trw. Neither had red grease to start out.

I use Lucas wheel bearing grease. Works well and my bearings look new after 20 years. Of course I’ve only put about 6000 miles on it in 20 years. But I pull and check them every 2-3 years.
