Is it manual or power steering?
In either case I would use the black Molybond grease on the rack and pinion gear, also on the plasic bushes at either end of rack.
In the case of manual I would use the same grease on the pinion bearings.
I am strugleing to remember the power steer setup, I thought the pinion bearings where lubricated by the hydraulic fluid, but somewhere deep in my mind I am thinking the hydraulic assistance is sealed seperatly to the pinions.
