Any particular grease for the zirk fittings? Read something once about some types not compatible with others.

I use just regular grease from Vato Zone. It is from Coastal... every 3-5K sounds okay.

I have some Valvoline I'll use. It might've been a Honda wheel brg. issue about the incompatability. I have a 93 Civic,too.
Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I use whatever grease is hanging around the parts place... I grease at every oil change.

Speaking of which though, I have to go hit the three grease fittings on the center link. E-fans sure do make it easier.

How many pumps do you guys put in? I've had one or two seals blow out on me on my last few trucks, and I don't think they were all that hard or overfilled at all.
