#1 Front Hub Grease

Post by Fspp369 » Tue May 05, 2020 3:39 pm

hi all,
what does the membership think of the grade of grease I should be using to repack my front hubs on my S3, my thoughts are LM2 Or EP2{Red} various suggestions have been made.
Any thoughts on the subject anyone?

Pretty much use what the service manual suggests. Keep them regularly greased and it will all be fine.

Thanks for the comments,
I was thinking that since the maintenance manual was written there may have been advances in lubricant tech.
I don’t know any tribologists so can’t get the low down on a slippery subject.
