So I won these parts at the WWC05'. I didn't even know at first what they were, but it didn't take long for the flock to move in and start making offers. Well I decided to do some research and I started collecting parts.

The front end has all been removed including the steering assembly. Turbo tierods will be part of the rebuild. The current swaybar is a 22mm adjustable upfront and will remain. I am keeping the stock 18mm torsion bars and a-arms. Everything else is being refreshed or replaced.

When the front is done the rear will be converted to 5 lug and a rear swaybar will be installed. Also if they can be obtained a set of Mueller bearings.

So here is the first set of pictures and questions fo Mike.

Now to grease it all and do the actuall install.
Any advise from the peanut gallery. Mike is this looking like the correct approach?
BTW - everything fits perfect. No forcing and no play.

Is this the type of grease you would use or should I get something else?

I'm just a casual observer of the various bearing threads from the past, but I thought Mike or another bearing user had recommended marine grade grease (boat trailer wheel bearings) for water resistance. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

That was what I had read also.
This stuff makes the same claims as the others on the shelf (water proof).
The other option is synthetic, but is that really neccessary?

that looks like standard wheel bearing grease which should be fine, I've never run into a wheel bearing grease that is water soluable (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

the main difference with marine grade grease is the protection from thermal shock when backing your trailer into the water after a long drive...(read it someplace, how true, no real idea)

Does the sleeve that the large bearing runs on have to be epoxyed to the arm to keep it from walking or spinning?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Part of the marine grade grease recommendation was that it's much "stickier" than other greases and seems like it would stay in place longer.
