Abstract

A grease composition for constant velocity joints comprising: (a) a base oil; (b) a diurea thickener of the formula (1): EQU R.sup.1 NH--CO--NH--C.sub.6 H.sub.4 -p-CH.sub.2 --C.sub.6 H.sub.4 -p-NH--CO--NHR.sup.2 wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be the same or different and represent aryl groups having 6 or 7 carbon atoms or cyclohexyl groups; (c) a molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate; (d) molybdenum disulfide; (e) at least one extreme pressure agent selected from the group consisting of zinc dithiophosphates, and sulfur-nitrogen extreme pressure agents; and (f) a phosphorus-free sulfur extreme pressure agent. The grease composition has low coefficient of friction, good performance for reducing induced thrust and high durability.
