When you say you used the entire 150g tube of grease, is that between the two wheels or all on one wheel? I'm assuming it was for the entire front end. Do you recall what the spec is for the recommended amount of grease? For most cars I seem to recall it being 65 - 70 g per side. |
Yes the spec of 65-70 g per side is correct.
70 x 2 is 140. I figure you are going to lose about 10 g on your hands while trying to pack the bearings. Also not every bit comes out of the tube.
