Subject: Re: [Tigers] Filling the rack
=20
There has been a lot of good advise regarding refilling the rack and =
ensuring that the amount added meets the volume stated in the manual. =
But, short of removing a boot and tilting the car for a lengthy time =
there really is no way of knowing when the fluid is replenished there =
isn't residual and the rack may be getting overfilled.
Perhaps another point that could be part of this discussion is why the =
rack needs to have fluid added. Leaking boots are an obvious point but =
the rack end caps where they go over the tube are another source. I =
recall the Shop Notes... (where are mine???) had a discussion about =
that.As I stated in a previous post my rack was gone thru and 20 years =
later with no use there is an accumulation of gear oil on the =
crossmember. It isn't where you can see it dripping but it must leak in =
the smallest amount.?? Has anyone come up with a good solution for the =
end caps?=20
