Steering wheel rod bearing. What to lube it with?
Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2004 4:15 pm
Its a newb question .....
In my fj40 there is a bearing just inside the ignition. Since I pulled the steering box out i figured since I had the wheel off I'd re lube the bearing in there.
So heres my question. Can i get away with using a multipurpose grease or should I use some light oil like wd40?
I'm leaning towards the grease but I just want to make sure.
From what i could tell it looked like a grease was used. It doesnt have to be anything fancy i would guess since its not a high temp or fast spinning location.
Just looking for some confirmation.
