Steering bearings do not get hot, so you could use bacon grease. I just use cheap wheel bearing grease rated for disc brakes since I do work on the occasional automobile.

Red polypropolene grease  because it is water proof. Use on boat trailers etc.,.
Easy to get.

Do you want to draw in the type of gal that is attracted to the smell of pork renderings?
