High pressure grease would be effective provided you could insure full distribution, which requires the unit to be designed for grease lubrication. That's the issue, the lubricating factor of high pressure grease is more than adequate to protect the steering gear. The pour point of SAE 250 is why its recommended, it will flow to the bearing area.
