make sure you use a disc brake rated bearing grease. FWIW, i called Mobil-1's 800#, and they could NOT confirm that they're grease was rated as such. so I use valvoline synthetic.

Just took a 300 plus mile ride.

I hear a low thrum at upper speeds. Need to do the repacking, then rotation and balance. I changed the lower control arm bushings (and sway bar links and bushings) a couple of weeks ago, (that was a very nice improvement) so this should take care of the remaining noise. Not nearly as twitchy in the heavy crosswinds today.

I will probably just get the MB grease from them at this point, easy to swing by the dealer.

Thanks folks!!!
