My racks are only lasting about 400K with grease in them.  Should I convert
to oil now?

Re:     Steering Rack and oil vs grease

 
Hey all,
Yes I am a DCO, but I am striving to be a Less DCO.  The Haynes says to use

oil in the steering rack instead of grease.  I don't know if I have an
early 
or a later steering rack (the car is a '60 Bugeye).  It's whatever was on 
the car when I bought it.  It had grease in it (a little anyway as the
boots 
were rotten and had to be replaced).  I put grease back into them when I 
replaced the boots, and have a whopping 800-900 miles on the car since I
got 
it back together.  Seems to be doing okay.  I am headed towards impending 
doom?  I mean, more quickly than we all are?
