I have been diagnosing a case of mild driveline shake for a long time now, and I am now quite sure is due to the new German CVs that I swapped in a few years ago.

I am ready to pull the axles to find out, and I need to get some Swepco 101 locally instead of waiting for shipping. Does anyone know where in greater Portland, OR one can walk in and buy 2 tubes?

Seems I can get Redline CV2 at some chain auto supply pretty fast.

Thanks Merian for the leads. Reading a few old threads I feel comfortable with my general view about lubricants. I decided that I will go generic moly EP lube that I can pick up readily. I tortured myself enough overthinking it.

I need to pick up a new grease gun too as my USA made one have seized on me from disuse. More money pouring out of the wallet.

Since these old girls were designed, lubricants have improved considerably. Any off the shelf properly rated grease would indeed be more than adequate for a sub-100hp vehicle.

Doug. Thanks for chiming in. I am happy that there are things we see eye to eye. Very Happy

I came to my senses and decided to go all cheap on the CV grease and stick with one that I always like. All except the needles are on sale so I cannot be happier.

all (except the CV) for $33

Screw the CVs if they decide to conspire on me. Let'em eat cheap black grease cake. Twisted Evil
