Lubricant for Ball & Trunnion uni

Posted by Larry51 On 2013/10/14 16:41:37

The '51-54 Service Manual (Section XX) states the lubricant for front 'uni' (actually a ball & trunnion slider on Ultramatic equipped '51's) must be 2oz. of 'Heavy Fiber Universal Joint Lubricant'. On diagram there it specifically states 'Do Not Grease' so certainly looks like ordinary grease is not to be used.

Would appreciate suggestions please about where to get the heavy fiber lubricant, or what a worthy substitute would be. One blog I saw suggests Alemite CD-2 Wheel Bearing Lubricant but the specs for that are vague, so I'm not sure if it would be suitable.
