There must have been two or three pounds of nasty looking grease in there, however none of it appeared to be in the area where lube is needed ie. where the pinion mates with quadrants. The quadrants appear OK but the pinion is rusty worn and dry. What is the proper lube for the steering box and how is it applied, thanks for any info. [Reply]   [Send Email]

I guess it was an accumulation of grease coming down the steering column over a period of 60+ years.   [Reply]   [No Email]

It is "splash lubed" by yer tranny front bearing oil slinger. Look for a "drain-hole" in yer tranny topcover (steering gearbox) ......Dell   [Reply]   [Send Email]
