Mike, while I would whole heartedly agree that grease is =

the John Deere =E2=80=98grease=E2=80=99 that is refered to is quite =
different and specifically designed for gearboxes. It is formulated for =
gear teeth under much higher loads than our steering boxes will ever =
encounter, and covers the teeth with a visible oily coating. We have =
been using it for several years with very good results and no steering =
box failures=E2=80=A6.. or leaking.

With all due respects to those recommending it for steering boxes grease =
is not a satisfactory lubricant for any type of precision gearbox.
The reason is very simple.
The pressure on the gear teeth will displace the lubricant from the =
loaded faces so that lubricant must be a liquid to be replenished.
That is why the designers went to all the trouble of installing a seal.

Subject: [Healeys] Steering Box and Wire Wheel Questions--BJ8
I have recently been hearing a "pop pop" noise coming from the right =
front suspension area when making a slow full right turn.
I do not hear it when making a full turn when the car is on concrete and =
is not moving.
I noted this same condition on my E-Type also. =20
I have Dayton wire wheels on both and relatively new hubs. =20
It is not the spinners or a wheel bearing or worn splines.
Several listers on the Jag list have said they had the same problem and =
found that the quality of the Dayton's had gone down and they did not =
fit flush with the hub--thus causing the noise while making a sharp =
turn. Their solution was to get new hubs and Dunlop wires and that =
solved their problem.
Question---------have any of you had this problem and if so what did you =
determine was the issue and how did you solve it?
Question #2------The BJ8 steering box is leaking oil (assume bad oil =
seal) and the dust excluder has disintegrated. Is it possible to =
replace these 2 items while the steering box is still in the car by =
removing the lower nut and steering lever?
Thanks for any help.
