i have cv joint grease and linthiam based grease also.

on the rear axle wheel bearing there was yellow guuuiii stuff i cleaned off.

what grease shall i use. cv joint one or lithuam based.

cv joint grease is lithium based,
either should be fine for a wheel bearing
ie general purpose grease as in this product

CV grease is probably molydinum sulphide based. I would suggest the OP let’s us know what car he has, we are not clairvoyant

vw polo

yeah i think the granville cv is moly based. i think that should be fine

thanks lads
