Axle grease ok?

melpeter

I'm going to lubricate the detachable tongue jack wheel, the stabilizer screws, and whatever else needs lube. Is axle grease ok? (I have a can of it.) Or should I buy some higher-tech lube?

I wouldn't use grease, at is is likely to catch and hold dirt and grit making things harder to operate than before.

Many people use silicone spray on the coupler. I wonder if that would work better?

Personally, I've never bothered lubing any of that stuff and it all works just fine going on five years.

@melpeter, I like the "dry lube" type spray-on lubricant, because it does not attract dirt.  I purchased the "3-In-One" dry lube.  It says it is for windows and tracks, but accomplishes the same thing.  You can find it at Wal*Mart, Amazon, or probably any auto parts store.  RV stores sell dry-lube lubricants for RV slide-outs.  I used it for that previously and it worked great.  I now use it to lubricate my hitch ball.  Like @ScottG, I have not lubricated my stabilizer's or the tongue jack, but will use the same product on those if I choose to.

Ok! Glad I asked. I’ll get dry lube and put the grease can back in the garage. Thanks
