Improved greases for use in homokinetic joints are proposed which comprise a base oil, a thickening agent, and an organic molybdenum compound. Greases comprising a base oil, a thickening agent, an organic molybdenum compound, and an organic zinc compound are also proposed. These greases exhibit smaller friction coefficients than conventional greases used for this purpose. On the homokinetic joint lubricated with the grease according to the present invention, the axial force produced is reduced and vibrations generated on the engine are absorbed. The vehicle is prevented from vibrating. The use of an expensive organic metallic extreme-pressure additive is unnecessary.
