    So the JBA HC UCAs I have are recommended to be greased with Mobilgrease XHP 222 Special. The problem is, nowhere I can find in Canada stocks that, and it’s around $50CAD to get 1 tube.:eek:

    My Google-fu and chart translation has failed me. I know it’s an NLGI 2 with Moly for extreme pressure. Is that all I need to know? Or is there something I’m missing with regards to ingredients?

    Thanks.

    I'm always one for using the manufacture's recommended stuff whenever possible. However for my JBA uppers I am using the same grease my driveline and UCA balljoints get - Lucas Red N Tacky. I have been using this grease on all the JBA zircs since install and the bushings are still happy. I Had trouble finding the recommended grease as well so I said screw it.

    Like @MalinoisDad , I share the same NGLI-2 grease with my driveshaft with my OTHER BRAND UCA upper ball joints.

    I'd just use any NGLI-2 rated grease. Chemically they have to meet minimum standards, so you would probably see minimal benefits over the lifespan of your truck by using the super specific ultra premium super expensive grease.
