[Tigers] Filling the rack

[Tom Witt]

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?
