The steering rack is something I rebuilt back when I did my suspension rebuild. I prefer proper grease to nipple lube for those tasks. That grease would really suck as nipple lube I suspect. It is going to leave a stain on clothing. I guess if the clothing were not used, there is no need for the lube.
I had the current president of the club drive my 911 around the track at 80% of full speed or so. Just to show him what the steering input feels like. Coming into some of the pylons that were just a 180 it is impossible to steer without both hands on the steering wheel. With the brakes shifting the load to the front tires, and a tight turn it is best to leave it in 2nd and steer around the pylon, then downshift after the corner is made.
Part of the issue is the 17 inch wheel and the 225s on the front. That is a lot more rubber than Porsche designed it for, and makes really low speed turns hard. Once it is rolling at 15 MPH or above, it turns easily. The OEM 15 inch wheels has 185s so it is a lot more rubber.
