This difference is why I will continue to use the 165/164 from Swepco.

LE Almamoly:Four-Ball Wear @ 75ÂșC, 1,200 rpm, 40 kgf, 60 minutes, mm wear, ASTM D2266
   0.45

Swepco165/164:Four Ball Wear Test (ASTM D2266)mm..0.36.

Big difference there. Pretty similar otherwise. I'll stay with the Swepco.

The Swepco164 is a caulking gun tube and the 165 is a grease gun cartridge. Makes cv service a lot easier.

I've been using https://www.swepcolube.com/products/swepco-165-molyxp-extreme-pressure-grease/ the last 3 years or so. I like it as it has plenty of cling yet will flow and not dry out.

I would definitely call that minimal.  Sounds like it did exactly what is supposed to with out flinching.

I went to the chiropractor yesterday, feel soooooo much better. When I bottomed out it hit so hard a button head 1/4" bolt head bulged the 1/4" thick aluminum skid plate.  Been  studying inline rear shock placement. Too many clearence issue using a non busted shock. I just done want to cut a section out of the frame.  Not sure yet.

Here is a link to the grease I will start running in my cv's.   https://products.lelubricants.com/item/high-temperature/almamoly-hd-grease-1488-1487/1488-tube?origin=serp_auto

That sucks your feeling it and hope uts not bad

Your rail is def tough enough to take a hit. It just happens sometimes. Like getting bumped in the trails  :m
The chassis took the hit well. I got the body panels and belly pan off today and was able to determine the main double tube spine was not bent at all ,just a very small twist of the front bulkhead and the triangulations did their job keeping almost all in line. The mounting tabs were intended to be what would be sacrificed/crumple if the arms took a hit and did their job well also. Was able to straighten the crumpled tabs and check the resulting alignment. 6* caster/1.5* camber passenger side and 4.5*caster/.5*camber driver side. Zero toe . Should only take a turn or 2 to bring it into spec.. Damn glad I made those tabs to crumple. I am betting there would have been much more damage if I hadn't.

Found part of the boost controller issue last night.  The mechanical boost controller is not working properly. Its cracking open at 25 psi and fully open at 32/34 psi rather then crack open at 18. Found a turbo smart dual port that might just fit the build perfectly with out the electrical side.

Upon inspection, the lower shock tabs got flipped. Hadvthem marked in the jig but must have flipped the a arm.  I know they shouldn't be mounted like that to begin with but worked 6" inboard of that mount before. I'll keep looking at diff locations.
