Re: Why Grease should not be used in a Steering Gearbox
55 years ago when I first stared driving Model A's, the purpose of putting grease in the steering box was so that it did not leak out and get all over the light switch parts and the garage floor. Today you can buy items to modify the steering box to keep oil from leaking out. I think a good grade of modern transmission oil that is suitable for high pressure and not harmful to yellow metal would be the proper choice. Add to that the parts needed to keep the oil from leaking out.
