How often do front driveshaft splines need to be regreased?

[audiquattrot]

curious to know how often we should be regreasing these things.

i don't think it has an inspection interval. make sure you use the right grease. molycote br or equivalent. i think if you lube the shit out of it, you could check it every year or two and be safe.

cool thanks for the reply!

[nando]

yeah, every year or so. the right grease will not dry out and turn into powder.

[audiquattrot]

great thanks Chris!

Where the best place to buy that? Some one mentioned a bmw bike shop before but anyone know an good websites?

I bought a 10oz tube on McMaster, and chances are that it will last longer than me.

I think I know the answer to this, but I would love if someone else gave their input. I got this stuff from O'Reilly's: MasterPro Super Lithium EP Moly Grease (http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/attac...oly-grease.jpg), which I used to put on the spline when I rebuilt the front right side of my car (new CA bushing/ball joints, new struts, new sway bar link, de-rustified everything, repacked CV joints). I was being lazy/in a rush so I just grabbed this stuff off the shelf.

The reason I chose it was because this guy says to use EP Moly grease, http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110940.

Should I take out the drive shaft and buy some better stuff? The more I read about it, the more paranoid I'm getting that I'm going to ruin my half shaft. Is the stuff you guys got from McMaster : 10605K42?

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll add it to the next time I order something at work.

Also, your gif is entrancing.
