Dragster Front Wheel Bearing Grease
In balancing my wheels, I noticed how much easier the wheel spun with no grease in the bearing. I have been using plain ol wheel bearing great to pack them. Is there something lighter that you guys use? I'm not ready to take the leap to ceramic, as that looks a bit costly.

I used to call it Lamb Lube. It was ultra low friction synthetic bearing grease. Turns out it was Mobil 1 synthetic grease.

I can tell you this. The world championship in TA/FC was won back when with Lubriplate 105 in the wheel bearings. Don't know if you want to do that or not. LOL

I bought some of this and it is very lightweight.

They have a heavy body version also.

It's funny that you said that. I had a laminated check list and a friend was reading it one day and asked me "what the h-ll is this?" I said "yep, that could easily be misconstrued." LOL Full Moon

The front wheel bearings in a dragster don't need a lot of grease. I use a grease needle between every other roller and fill the groove. No need to hand pack them like you do in your daily driver.

Picked up some m1 synthetic and a needle nozzle for the grease gun. Thx!

Try Daylube. This is the best grease I have tried.
