I've been following the discussion about lubricating the steering rack of a
TD. Admittedly the manual says to use oil, but I am in a dilemma. I would
appreciate comments concerning the following passage in Richard Knudson's
"The T Type Restoration Handbook" page 86:
"Steering Rack: The original lube charts call for the use of gear oil in
TD/TF/Y steering rack, but modern multi-purpose lithium grease works just as
well and isn't nearly as messy."
Knudson isn't the first person I have seen advocating using lithium grease
instead of oil. What's the problem using grease?
