After I rebuilt all my steering boxes they were filled with Castrol D140 with some molyslip after which one car decided to eject the stuff onto my trousers a problem I'd never experienced with grease lubrication in the previous 50 years. Before I could investigate further the steering box was replaced after an encounter with a BMW. Someone did say this was caused by excessive clearance between the worm shaft and the bush above the worm. I didn't investigate further because I scrapped the worm, worm wheel and drop arm so it didn't find it's way onto another car.
