Just rebuilt the steering box on the Chevy, and I was wondering if I could use grease as an alternative to oil. Has anyone got any thoughts or have experience on doing this?
Thanks

I use PENRITE steering box lubricant, it has the consistency of a 600w. There is a dealer on the west coast.

Thanks Doc and John,
the Penrite grease looks perfect, I will try to find a UK distributor.
