look again no f body cars have a front axle except the one billy bob built on a 4x4 chassis

 

...............
I mean the 9 grease fittings in the front suspension.
And of course every car with 4 wheels has a front and rear axle.......

 

i use the red color greese in the tubes. it's usually the more costly of the 2 or 3 kinds my local tractor supply has. i'd say any for a cartridge type greese gun would work

 

I used whatever was in my uncle's grease gun, lol. Probably some cheap chassis grease or something of the likes. Have yet to buy my own, though I will eventually. When I re-did my rotors and bearings (though you don't use a grease gun for this), I used some synthetic stuff...don't remember if it was Mobil 1 or Valvoline. Oh, and these cars don't have a front axle. They have front spindles with bearings that allow the wheels to spin freely.

 

Well,
I used Quacker State Golden Chassis Grease, but have switched to a synthetic grease now.
Every car with more than two wheels has a rear and front axle, no matter what it consits of (at least here in Europe that is..... )

Define "axle."

An axle is a solid piece of metal, the width of the car, that has wheels at either end and carries the weight of the vehicle.

Modern rear-wheel drive passenger cars do not have a front axle. They have front wheels, which mount to hubs, which run on spindles than can rotate allowing the car to steer. The spindles are mounted to the chassis using controls arms, which allow the spindles and wheels to travel up and down indepentently, while still allowing the spindles to rotate.

Some FWD cars don't have rear axles. They have control arms, lateral bars, radius arms, etc. to keep the wheels straight and allow them to travel up and down independently. These wheels also mount to hubs.

The only vehicles that have 2 axles are 4x4s, weight-carrying vehicles with tandem rear axles, trailers with tandem axles, and old cars like Ford Model-T's.
