    The British army did trials with and without grease in 101 CVs.
    I dont know the results except for the fact that early in the trials the grease seem to be working well.
    The top swivel in a 101 is a fibre bush and not a taper roller bearing like the lower swivel and like most other heavy duty off road vehicles.
    Mine is running 140 gear oil with slight leakage.
    The stuff to use is steering box grease made by Mobil.
    It is a Semi liquid grease and this stuff is brillant.
    It is hard to find.

    Nowra Spare Parts in North Street, ordered Penrite Semi Fluid Grease for my Burman S1 steering box and it arrived without problem, you need the cartridge grease-gun of course. I'm sure the others would do similar and maybe even get the Mobil stuff if you prefer that.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Why dont you put Moreys in it easy to get and seems to work a treat, stops the leaks too.
    I know of one RR Classic in the UK that did 500000 ks on one set of CVs using Moreys.

    my in a pinch fix

    remove the seal with the axle still assembled
    using some gland sealing cord (like they use on those big ships)splice a ring to fit inside the existing seal inside of the spring or if you have the jointed spring shorten it by a few mm
    pack the face of the seal and its sealing lips with Super heavy duty turntable grease. (this stuff goes on like road tar and has a melting point near that found in atomic blasts and might be dilutable if mixed with the blood from one of the alien creatures from the movies of the same name)
    re-assemble the seal after cleaning up the ball

    fill with oil.
