View Full Version : Front Drive Shaft Grease Fitting
The 2 rear a-arm fittings,the 2 front a-arm fittings and the 2 fittings on the back side of the strut towers all use the same type of NLGI#2 grease.I noticed in the polaris manual that the front dive shaft calls for u-joint lube.I'd like to pop over to advance auto and get a tube on lunch what brand would you guys recommend??

i just use standard heavy duty grease on all of them. you dont actually have to use u-joint grease fot the u-joint.

I use that greenstuff waterproof grease..not cheap but i also use it on my mower and it keeps me from having to grease everytime.
The polaris u-joint lube is about $4.00 a tube at my local dealer but I really hate going there unless I really have to.

Then I can use what i'm using on the other fittings and save my money.

i use the greenish "marine" grease. same stuff i use in all my cv joints.
that hint was told to me by the guys who designed and built the rzr. met them in texas at mud nats. there were 3 of them from polaris out there to show off the 4 prototypes rzrs they had built.
i spent alot of time hanging out with them this past nats. thats why i was able to drive/ride in a rzr before they were ever released to the public and before they were put into production.
so i think thats some pretty good resources to listen to. and its worked great for me so far.
Thanks for the advice guy's.When I use up the stuff i'm using now i'm going to get the "greenish" marine stuff.
