What to put in steering rack
Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2015 7:21 pm
I'm soon going to put a new steering rack gaiter on my Morris as one of mine has fell to bits & it looks very dry inside.
Once I've replaced it how much oil should I put in the rack? I know normally you only put a few strokes of the grease gun (filled with ep90), but with the damaged gaiter will it have lost all of its contents?
Also, I've heard people say it's ok to use moly grease in the rack where others say stick to ep90, which is best?
I do have some semi fluid grease as it's specified for the gearbox in my AJS, would this be any good as it's thicker than ep90 but runnier than grease or is it best to stick to original recommendations?
Thanks.
