front drive shaft grease

Is there any aftermarket grease that meets the MS 6560 specs we are supposed to use in the front drive shaft? I know I can buy a tub at the dealer but a tube to load into my grease gun sure would be easier. I can't find anything at the local parts store that meets MS 6560 as indicated on the tube. Little help?

There are many good greases to choose from that should be easily attainable for this application. Don't go cheap.
Where/shat is ms 6560 spec?

Care to elaborate or be more specific? The owners manual clearly says MS6560. No grease I can find meets this spec. You name the Chey, Ford and other Chrysler ratings and you can find it, not the case for MS6560. What kind of grease are people using?

The ms6560 is just the part number for chrysler. A general pupose lithium based nlgi#2 grease. This grease is nothing special. Any napa or autozone will have several fine choices to choose form. Perhaps some of the others can chime in on what they are using.
