Has anyone had any experience using PTFE dry lube on outdrives or pivot ball joints?

Hi all.

Has anyone had any experience using PTFE dry lube on outdrives or pivot ball joints?

I use this stuff on my pillow balls and it works great as it doesn't attract dust or dirt. I'm not sure if it's based on PTFE or not, but I love the way it works.

I use anti-wear grease in my outdrive cups.

Hope this helps

Wouldn’t graphite work? I used it on pine wood derby cars long ago

I tried it, but definitely prefer the Dryfluid®.

Oh cool, I never tried it, just was a random thought

I've seen this gun cleaner/protector used on bearings and such. Would this work well?

What was it that made you prefer dryfluid over graphite?

From my observations, it has better adhesion properties.

No idea. Could be worth a try. Personally, I clean my bearing with acetone and lube them with high quality sewing machine oil from Gunold. But that's just me. If you ask five different people what to use on bearings you'll get six different answers
