Hey,
(I KNOW this has probably been "beat to death" on here,but I want some final opinions on what to do here.)
I recently rebuilt my steering gear box completely.(ALL bushings,bearings and seals.)The right and left sector shafts fit snugly in their bushings.The factory seals were replaced with a narrower seal(but 2 of them per side to increase width)
Well,after re assembly. I added the 90 wt to the top of the fill hole and now I have gear grease "seeping" slightly from both the right and the left sector shaft at the pitman arms.
It has been mentioned on here to either pump JD Corn head grease into the box,or use Snapper rear end grease in the gear box.(I think "Sound Guy" suggested the Snapper grease??? #00 I think????)
What should I do here???? Will these MORE solid greases make it into the balls,rack,worm gears of the steering shaft to keep it lubed correctly??? Will it quit leaking??? OR ,should I make it be able to seal up with the 90 wt?????
