Apologies in advance for the misspelling in the subject. I'm looking to re-grease my drive axle to see if it would solve my clicking problem. Since Molykote M77 is nearly impossible for the general consumer to purchase, is there an alternative which can be found at major auto shops? I've done some quick research and found Permatex. Unfortunately, I have no experience with this so I'm hoping someone could shed some light on this.

Thanks!

 

It's available....it's just $190 for a tub of it.

McMaster-Carr sells virtually everything



I've heard Loctite C5-A copper anti-seize can be used as an alternative...but don't take my word for it

I'll split it with you and we'll have endless lube for brake shims and drive axles!

 

Use brake pad shim grease OR

 

Where can I get that stuff?

 

Auto Zone

 

Autozone, but get the copper version like i posted above. It will withstand higher temps

 

Thanks all!

 

Citgo Lithoplex MP wheel bearing grease is the best thing to use in this application. I work for the parts dept. at ramsey infiniti and we use this in place of the molykote grease on all customer cars.

 

+1 i worked as a nissan tech and we used regular old wheel bearing grease

 

Yea, any wheel bearing grease where it says "moly" anywhere on the tube will work.

 

I was going crazy for a week trying to figure out the axle click. The wheel bearing ended up causing the noise!!!

 

Oh yeah, my wheel bearing is shot too. It's not too bad to replace. The only thing you'll have to get done by a shop is pressing the bearing on the hub. I bought the bearing from Infiniti of Greenwich (noticed you were from CT). Pending installation.

Where do you usually get your car work done if you don't do it yourself? It would be nice to know of a place around Fairfield since I work in CT.

 

I'm in central CT about an hour from Fairfield. I do all my work, but will go to Heart Infiniti for some things.

 

It is another cant find anywhere item
