Hi Bob and thanks for pointing that out.
I have watched the John Deere video on their grease and must say that it ha=
s definitely made me reconsider what I was taught in my engineering classes=
so many years ago.
Really looks like neat stuff and next time I encounter a leaking steering b=
ox I intend to give it to try.

Mike, while I would whole heartedly agree that grease is not=

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 fou=
nd that the quality of the Dayton's had gone down and they did not fit flus=
h with the hub--thus causing the noise while making a sharp turn. Their so=
lution 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 de=
termine 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.
