- 1965 CJ-5 Buick V6 Ford T-18 4-Speed Spicer 20/18,Warn Overdrive Dana 30 & 44 w/Powr-Lok posi / both,4.27 gears 33" tires.
So the wheel bearing grease in the knuckles is ok??
The official Jeep Manual from that era says its supposed to be a "Universal Joint Lube" Number #0...........Now if I remember they take something a lot heavier than a 80-90 weight gear oil.
The manual also says wheel bearing grease is Number #2
As the number goes down the grease is heavier.
I remember having a bit of a time getting that heavy stuff in there years back before I swapped in the Dana 30 .............Those joints are supposed to be swimming in the lube and do leak as you already know.
You might have to check with one of those sites that gets into the early CJ parts.
