Default Re: Why Grease should not be used in a Steering Gearbox

I don't know if it was the right kind of lube or not but when I was a kid in the little farming town I grew up in the local garage was where all the loafers ganged up every day. This one day an old boy drove up in a model a coupe needing a grease job. The mechanic was covered up but he told him that he could use the grease rack and air grease gun if he was in a big hurry. Well everything went good underneath the car but when he let it down and was greasing the steering sector the grease gun was going cha, cha, cha, when the mechanic came out of the garage cussing up a storm. "What are you doing"? he asked. Then he opened the door and there was pile of grease that looked like a big cow patty that came out the horn hole in the steering wheel. That steering sector probable got lubed good for a while.
