Can I get away with filling the steering box with grease as attempt as the seals have gone but there no issues with the box just that I want to use the van this weekend
 
Grease may not be such a good idea in your steering box. It really needs 80/90 hypoy oil like you throw in your gearbox to lube it. With oil it can splash around a bit and keep coating everything that`s rubbing together and all the crap can sink to the bottom. With grease it will keep the crap suspended in your moving parts and may or may not `splash' about inside. Also with oil, you`ll know when you`ve filled it but it may be a little hit and miss with grease as to what you actually have forced in :shock: OOoooerrr Mrs :lol:

No ep oil allows for the hypoid gears grease will be blown out through the seals if your seals are already shot then your asking for trouble
