They make prop shaft grease for that.

I have never greased the hub, only the splines on the prop shaft, for twenty some years.. The rubber shims help cushion the fit of the hub.. Grease on them, I would think would not be a good thing..

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know, It didn't seem right greasing the hub....the splined shaft was a given
