front suspension work 200 85

posted by  someone claiming to be Dan Coleman on  Sat Nov 25 03:49 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi all,

I'm in the middle of front end repair and was wondering about packing or not packing new rack boots with a lubricant. Maybe just paint the joints with some joint grease and put it on thick? Any suggestions?

If you can work some lube onto the ballsocket for the tie rod, thats ok, and I always clean and put some light grease on the rack gear, but I don't think pack is the word I would use. Too much grease will block the air passage from side to side in the rack and the boot will blow off when you turn the wheels.
