Unless it has some flow properties, I'd caution against using a grease in the steering gear box, stick with a heavy gear oil as Packard recommended. And the reason is that the rotation of the gears will channel" the grease away from the surfaces needing lubrication, leaving them somewhat naked of lubricant for the next turn of the gears. A fluid oil will flow back and rewet the surfaces with lubricant.
