Hey all,

I am replacing the rack and pinion and re-greasing the gear mechanism.

The old current grease is a really tacky almost hard brown grease.

I have some Castrol HTB grease that I used previously on the old rack some time ago but it appears to have not stood up to the type of use.

The HTB grease isn't as solid/tacky and has simply been squeezed away from the gear/shaft, possibly why the rack began to fail (loose centre and the occasional crack noise)

I'm thinking some sort of Molly based lube? What have others used?

For those who are unsure what I am talking about....
