stef123 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yes the inner joint uses a different grease, I’m not sure what type it is, I’ve always called it tripod joint grease lol. its generally very thin compared to the horrible black moly grease you’d find in an outer joint. Mind you’ll need to buy an ‘inner’ boot too as it’s a different shape. There is s bodge if you are really desperate though lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrn1919 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 doing the job right hopefully . so is the grease on the inner more like oil ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggsbody Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Is it the the green coloured grease your talking about Stef ? When you get the CV boot it should be supplied with it as well as a retaining belts/clips which I find a right pain so l just use tie wraps the longest you can get..
