Hi
What's the thought for lubricating the steering box/rack on a TR4A? My workshop manual calls for 4-5 pumps from a grease gun per year (which is what I have been doing the past 10 years). I rotate the wheel from lock-to-lock while doing this.
However, I have also seen references to using gear oil (i.e. 80/90 wt GL4). I can see how gear oil would flow into the far reaches of the rack better but, it sounds really messy and more prone to leaking out the boots.
Any thoughts?
