interesting grease activity.
I had to undo the front wheel hubs of my W124 as I "accidently" dunked the front in water, water came upto the wheel hub level..
after removing all the brake etc. I removed the hub and saw a peculiar grease pattern. The penzzoil 707 grease I had put in had actually backed up on both outer sides of the hubs - quite neatly too - leaving a thin coat only in the centre. Is this activity good or bad grease? btw the grease was still good looking and buttery and smelled just like the tube it came in. back to the reason to remove - The bearings had not faced any water intrusion but best be safe than sorry.

Good to see threads like this - enough of the oil threads - let the grease wars begin!
I don't think that type of grease is available over here it has a lot of nice marketing attached to it as well as essentially saying it is the only grease you'll ever need to use - all purpose - one solution for everything solutions tend not to be as could as they say; but I don't know if that applies here. Here's a PDF for the experts who like tech specs http://www.pennzoil.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Premium-Wheel-Bearing-707L.pdf Do you think you might have over packed the grease in the bearings? Did you clean them really well before using this stuff? Sometimes a mixture of different things isn't great.

Its a generic wheel bearing grease that is similar to almost any other grease (even house brands) that you can buy for a few dollars.
I weighed out the grease like MB want in the manual.
