It's not lack or quality of grease that's bothering them then. either cones have slipped and they're too tight or they're worn/pitted. strip, clean, inspect. rebuild/replace as appropriate.

To be Honest Onza they were brand new earlier this year & have been greased 2/3 times,so i wouldn't have thought theres any wear really,i could be wrong !, & theyve never been apart either,but i dunno how much servicing they need,do you ??..

Not done v8s but it should be a standard arrangement. Prise off plastic cap. Undo nut, fish out tap washer, remove cone. Trial and error to get the tension right on rebuild. If they're that new, been regreased and feel rough, I'd guess cones are too tight.
