i used high temp grease, but i think you can also use Molybdenum Disulfide. Also make sure you use gasket goo on all the parts the service manual recommend (e.g. swival hubs, king pin, the gap between the two swival outer plates, part of swival seal... )

It's the black/grey colored grease you want for the cv's and a wheel bearing grease for the wheel bearings

Did you strip them completely apart? I find some of them get tight where the o-ring seals the turning part
