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

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.

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

LE Almamoly:Four-Ball Wear @ 75ºC, 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.

An additional .09 mm wear at 176* f. I have been using swepco 101. Ill have to look up the specs on it later.

Swepco 101 moly grease looks like a .60 wear

That .09 is 25% more wear.  I would call that substantial more wear. I think the LE grease is likely substantially better than the 101 but the 165/164 is better than both. I have seen no visible wear in my 934 cv's using it. I did need to replace one 934 due to a soft spot in one of the ball tracks. No grease will help with that.
