It's still availabele, I got some a few months ago and it is listed in the
Goodwrench book of lubricants under manual steering box lube. It's
directions say to use one tube only or risk blowing the seals. I don't know
what steering box theese directions are for but I didn't see how you would
blow the seals in a AD box. Anyhwow one tube didn't seem to be enough and I
used two in my '50, no more leaks.
