I rebuilt my 1938 Opal steering box a couple of years ago and as well as fitting new balls into the steering shaft I also replaced the bush in the drop arm which was worn to the extent that it was difficult to adjust the mesh and also retain lubricant in the box. I purchased an oil impregnated bronze bush from Simply Bearings which I ground a lubrication groove into with my Dremel. It made a significant improvement in being able to adjust the steering box. To finish off I filled the box with Castrol Spheerol EPL 0.
