Would you use this?

They are throwing out cases of this lubricant. Being the cheap pr*ck that I am, I'm wondering if it can be used for Suspension, U joints, and possibly wheel bearings? Any grease experts out there?

That is not a link to the internet. It is the file stored on your computer.

Is it this?

Says "lightly loaded industrial bearings." Sounds like it's actual usefulness is kinda limited.

Is it because it's out of date?

 

[Kendog 170]

Different link. No expiration on tube but manufactured date 2019. Being a medical company yes expired 2/24.

I wouldn't use it with wheel bearings but as a chassis lube it should be ok.

 

[Kendog 170]

I'll probably just take 2 tubes rather than 2 cases. I agree I wouldn't use on wheel bearings.

Heck, I'd grab a couple cases if I were you.
Maybe not for high speed/wheel bearings, but I'd be using it for low speed tractor/lawn mower wheel bearings, PTO/3 pt. grease, snow blowers, assembly lube for linkages and pivots, all kinds of stuff.

I would love a case keep 3 tubes and give the rest to friends :}

That stuff's $16 per regular grease-gun tube.

Looks like a grease for electric motor bearings and similar stuff, all kinds of uses, but I'd keep it away from wheel bearings and really high-force bearings, like loader or excavator pivots.

Something like that you could probably bring to a flea market and sell for $5 a tube. Buyers would be happy, you'd be happy. And if it didn't move, you could sell for $2 and not lose any money.

Not for automotive use. Not "EP" for extreme pressure, so no wheel bearings or u joints, why bother? May work, may not. Grease is cheap, buy the right product.

Reading this made me think of something funny. I was an assistant Manager at a Western Auto for five years after I got out of the Air Force in 1993 while going back to school. One night a lady came into the shop and with a straight face asked, "Can you guys grease my son's rear end". We all, including the lady whose face turned red, got a good laugh out of that.

"Can you guys grease my son's rear end"

"New policy, ma'am, we charge extra for lube now."

It's good stuff, a heavy duty, EP grease. Not to be confused with with the technical data sheet in post #2. Which it clearly has been, as can be seen by several responses. Use it confidently in everything on your old Mopar except wheel bearings with disc brakes. It'll be fine with drum brakes.

Get all you can for free. Give away what you can't use to your buddies. Better still, buy it by the truckload and support contributions to my pension fund.

Perfect for door hinges, window regulators door handles and latch’s. Sure you might have it for the rest of your life but you won’t need to buy any either.

 

[rwilson]

This is probably the best race on the market

 

[Kendog 170]

I guess I'll grab it all. I do have to go through some of my stuff at some point and sell off a lot of stuff before I move in the future. Thanks for all the responses.

I'd grab every tube I could, sell it on marketplace, and smile contently knowing there are several dead presidents' faces in close proximity to my bean bag.
