I thought that they were lubricated by the power steering fluid and that just the manual boxes used grease. I could be wrong, I have never opened or rebuilt one, when they have gone bad I have just taken them out and had someone rebuild them. On a power steering box the most worrisome part would be the rubber o-rings and seals that are inside it. If the box had some oil in it, and that oil is still there, the o-rings should still be fine. If I was going to try it out I would fill it with ATF (I think type-F is what our boxes require if I recall correctly), and move the gearing around by hand and let is sit for a day or so to get all the seals and o-rings lubricated before I put it on. I would be willing to bet that it still works fine, as long is it was not completely dry on the inside when you got it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
