Hey all, my second daft question in as many days here! Reading my Bentley Manual regarding the replacement of the steering rack gaitors it calls for 'steering rack grease only' to be used. However, looking for this it seems it must be on the same shelf as tartan paint, glass hammers and spirit level bubbles!
What do I use? Silicone or Molly?
Thanks again boffins!

Re: Steering rack grease
Over the past 20 years the various different greases seem to have disappeared. Multi purpose lithium grease covers virtually all.

Thanks for that! Just campers is literally the last place I would have looked. It's still Moly grease though, so a pot of that from a reputable seller will do!

Re: Steering rack grease
Same grease as used for constant velocity joints: Lithium & Molybdenum Disulphide....not just Moly.....the lithium makes the grease dark grey in colour.
