[Mg-t] Rack

[John Seim]

Add oil. The damage is already done. Chances are, one, if not both tie rod
swivel ends
could be loose, from lack of lubrication. They can be rebuild, through
disassembly, and
changing some shim thickness. With the car raised up, and moving front and
back one
front wheel at a time, listen for a click, or clunk sound. If you hear one,
that side requires
rebuilding. I have rebuild them on many cars.

grease, instead if oil. Should I try to disassemble and clean it or stick with
the grease? Or add oil, thereby diluting the grease? This car will be used in
warm/hot weather only. Advice appreciated.
