As always, the people on this site are very helpful and always willing to give great advice. I can't wait to get my project finished and show up driving it to some of the east coast events! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,001 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,001 | I made my own lubricant for the steering box by mixing 140 weight gear oil with general purpose grease. In the end, the mixture was self leveling (flowable) at room temperature. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 242 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 242 | Penrite lubricants makes a steering box lube, it is a 500w and is self leveling. About $16.00 per bottle, you probably need 2 bottles. I have used corn head grease but I prefer the Penrite product. Steering box is as dry as a bone on the outside.
