take some grease and make sure your bearings are lubricated than put a little bit of grease lik on the steering tie od ends so when the snow melts it wont make the joint rust

The problem with silicone is that it sticks to well. If you ever want to get it off it's a PIA. I would use it to seal around a receiver box but not to actually cover the receiver with. Goop is another product that would work similiar to silicone but slightly easier to remove later.
