[DeTomaso] Steering Rack Lube & GT5 wheel spacers

[John Taphorn]

Valvoline GM Chrysler European Multipurpose grease in the black and red 
tube.  It is a lithium based grease good to 375 degrees and recommended for 
steering systems.

I do not know whether it was the best choice; however, I am confident it is 
adequate.
