The 1/4" bend in the steering rack has been fixed by judicious use of an
oxy-acetylene torch and pushing the end while the appropriate spot was about
cherry red.  I got it to within about 1/32"(even less if considering only the
teeth area).  Now, I need to find out what to use for lubrication.  Haynes and
Bentley say grease and The Roadster Factory says 90 wt oil.  It seems as
though the oil would provide more thorough coverage, but be more prone to
leaking.  Any comments will be appreciated.  Thanks.
