Subject:Searched. Steering rack grease substitute? + questions PIC

Hi all.

Does this:

indicate a failed seal, or this is a "normal" amount of grease?

I didn't clean the boots before popping them off, and dust/crap got on
the shafts (D-oh!) so I need to clean/lube these parts.

In the archives there's mention of CV joint grease being used on the
manual steering rack.

What are others using as a substitute for the grease specified by
Bentley on P 48.4 ?

Dealership says 10 days from Chermany for the greeze.

Thanks,

Neil.
