@srini: Mis-alignment is not a problem if the wheel-bearings are in order and the axle not warped. Though it is important to remember that if more force is needed while assembling than used suring dis-assembly, there there is a need to re-check the procedure as something might get damaged by that excessive force.

@soumen.sam: Silicone grease would be better no doubt but sourcing it in small packaging is a problem. And it is expensive to buy in larger quantity. The 'white' grease that you see is usually EP Ball-bearing grease (EP - Extreme Pressure) which is fine enough for the purpose.
