Its definitely a good thing to keep moving parts lubricated. Just one concern about the lithium grease, I find that it attracts dirt quite readily. For that reason I prefer a dry silicone-based lube for things like my step mechanism, etc. White lithium grease it ideal for displacing water, and lubricating any moving parts not exposed to road grime. That's what makes it a great rust-preventative. I have used it when assembling engines.
This is exactly the same mistake I made. The problem with dry silicone in places like the steps is that it doesn't protect from corrosion. You will eventually run into problems with your steps as I did if you continue to use silicone. After my steps failed I switched to a spray lithium grease and the steps run better than ever.
