Super Lube vs. Lucas Red Tacky

I've used both but want to stick to just one for my drive shaft, ICON UCAs etc...

The Lucas one is easy to find at most stores. The Super Lube is a bit more difficult.

Thoughts?

 

Superlube has PTFE, which is probably better for your UCAs. Either is fine...flip a coin.

 

if it is a bushing, then super lube is the right thing. If it is a metal to metal wear surface, or bearing, need to use regular grease. As much as super lube claims they can replace all grease, it doesn't. Silicon grease with teflon/ptfe is not a replacement for high pressure grease like for u-joints, and not for high temps like wheel bearings. That's besides the problem with mixing with whatever else is in that greased joint now.

 

BTW, I am a huge fan of super lube, I'm putting zerk fittings in all my leaf spring poly bushings and the same goes for the whitelines I'm putting in the front LCA. If I had greasable UCA bushings, I'd use it there too. But for ball joints, tie rod ends, u joints, etc - need to use regular grease that is made for the high pressure scenario.

 

I'll mention that regular greasing is as important as having the correct grease.
