for the Bearings (Wheel and the kingpin) you need wheel bearing Grease, i use Castrol HTB for these 2 as well as the needle roller bearing inside the stub axel

For the CV you need a CV Grease i use Castrol LMM Ball joint/CV Grease

You can use Bearing grease in the CV as a stop gap if your in the bush and need to get home with a spare CV but don't leave it in there, it won't protect it properlly and you will be breaking that CV sooner than later.
