What lubricant is suitable for these steering components? The application is an off road vehicle (Polaris Ranger).

Look for a port for a flush-tip grease gun needle or a Zerk fitting can thread into. If you have one, use any good quality non-moly grease for those U-joints.

How exposed is the joint? If its protected or out of the way id be tempted to clean it, moly-grease it and put a boot or gaitor over it.
 
I would use a calcium based grease, grade 1.5. Calcium to resist washout; grade 1.5 because you don't want to use anything too heavy for micromotion application.
 
I checked the service manual. There is no mentioning of lubricating these joints, but I figure any lube is better than none.
