Re: C20 Dana 60 Wheel Bearing Grease or Gear Oil?
^^^ This. And grease is good as an assembly lube on bearings. On front drive axles it's all lubed by gear oil, too, but outside the steering knuckles it's pack bearings with grease, same as 2wd. Then, with lock-out hubs, it's back to oil. Not even gear oil, just simple motor oil is good. Outside the bearings turns with the hub, so lube is only needed to keep moving parts moving freely from 'free' to 'lock'. Many a lockout dial has been damaged when bearing grease made them stubborn
