jacob80 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hey guys, Having a little trouble, feeling kind of dumb about it. While reassembling my front axle I decided I would top off the grease in the rack in pinion. Assuming that the little bolt in the rack and pinion casing is where you fill it with grease, I removed that and put a grease zerk in its place, filled it with grease until it wouldn't accept anymore and put the bolt back in. Testing the steering, I realize too much grease is in the boots. So I remove some and upon turning the steering, it is as though the air in the boots cannot escape nor can it get any. This results in the boot pushing itself out of position and grease escaping. My question is, have I damaged something? Do I need to pull it apart and rebuild it or is there a quick fix here? Any help here would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
