what lube in commodore rack ?
What are people using to lube their commodore steering racks ?
Am about to fit mine after doing a full reco on it.any suggestions........that relate to the rack not me !! :LOL::D rog |
Is it manual or power steering?
In either case I would use the black Molybond grease on the rack and pinion gear, also on the plasic bushes at either end of rack. In the case of manual I would use the same grease on the pinion bearings. I am strugleing to remember the power steer setup, I thought the pinion bearings where lubricated by the hydraulic fluid, but somewhere deep in my mind I am thinking the hydraulic assistance is sealed seperatly to the pinions. |
Its manual Box. was told that manual is a better option than power, so went that way.
So you're saying straight moly grease then. I can do that :D Thanks Rog |
It should have been lubed while being assembled, not after.
|
yeah I did that, but going back to when I did up my Morrie Minor rack in the 60's I had to fill the rack with a heavy oil, and the rack that I got was pretty dry, so that's why the question %/

I see, yep no oil in the newer racks
|

What year is the rack from? I have just rebuilt my manual rack from a VB and used gear oil as per the workshop manual. Hope this helps :-) Cheers, Roy |
I used a VK rack Roy.
What weight gear oil did you use ? Rog |

My manual says to use 190-210mls of SAE 90 or EP 140 Gear Oil so I used 200mls (rack is narrowed by 105mm) of Castrol LSX 90 Gear Oil. Cheers Roy |
