Has anyone used corn head grease in the steering box of a model A? I am having trouble with minor leaks at the bottom of my 7 tooth column I just rebuilt. First I didn't use any sealer, like was advised here by a couple of Fordbarner, but it leaked. I used Permatex to seal the shims and threads on the bottom bolts, but one bolt has a slow leak - I don't know why. I was thinking of using corn head grease, as it is supposed to not leak and lubs well. I pasted in a link to a YouTube video about the grease. It sound great and is only about $4 a 11 oz tube. If anyone has used corn head grease in a steering column, please let me know how it worked.
