Bill:
After doing all the same rebuild activities that you did, and still hearing
that I shouldn't be surprised if the box still leaks oil (at least
eventually), I decided to go with a lithium grease. A friend of mine did
this and actually tapped a grease nipple into the top filler cap. I didn't
go this far but instead packed the box with the grease.

Subject: Steering Box Fluid
After changing seals, shims, setting endfloat and addressing play, it's time
to refill the fluid in the steering box of my 5-month old TR3A. What's the
recommendation here? Is the gel-like Penrite steering lube the way to go?
Hypoid gear oil? Other?
Many thanks for all the help. I've been busy over the winter, and it's time
to put it all together and get on the road.
