List,
So.... I rebuilt my '73 TR6 steering rack and remounted it. Then, much to
my surprise, I noticed that TRF's catalog mentions that the rack should be
lubricated with 90 weight gear oil, not grease! The rack was greased when
I disassembled it. Bentley mentions only grease in any discussion of the
steering rack I could find and specifically says to pack the tie rod ends
with grease before installing the gaitors. I'd be interested to hear what
the rest of you use in the steering rack body for lubrication. I'd hate to
have to remove and disassemble it all over again to clean out the grease
and convert to gear oil................Thx, Dave
