Repair tip of the month: Lubricant and grease distribution

Repair tip of the month
Repair tip of the month

Different joint lubricants are available for ball and tripod joints, as well as for standard and high-performance applications. The ingredients are perfectly adjusted to the steel of the joint and the boots for the respective application. This enables the components to act smoothly.

High-performance greases can withstand temperatures of up to 160° Celsius for short periods of time, while standard joint lubricants are designed to withstand short-term exposure to temperatures of up to 110° Celsius.

Using a standard lubricant in a high-performance application may result in the outgassing of the grease, and ultimately to the total failure of the joint.

The amount of grease in the SPIDAN or LÖBRO repair kit is sufficient to completely fill the corresponding joint. The remainder of the grease is fed into the boot.
