tim,

I had too hard of a day to go through the Bentley to get some kind of
definitive answer, but when I relubed a Volvo manual rack some years ago I
used the specific Volvo rack grease.  It was expensive with the Volvo label
on it, something like $15 for a 12 oz. toothpaste tube of the stuff and it
seemed suspiciously like Lubriplate white break-in grease.  So, in other
words, I don't know if you can use wheel bearing grease.
