Re: [DMCForum] Steering rack boots: Lube for replacement?

[Martin Gutkowski - DMC Ltd <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Errrrm...... probably. But just check for play. Does the movement of the 
shaft translate precisely to movement of the track rod. Gan you tug and 
push on the track rods without any "clicking" feeling. It's quite normal 
for the assembly to feel slightly "gritty" but play is the enemy. Over 
here we do racks on exchange, and they're not too expensive so it comes 
under the "will worry about it when it goes wrong" heading!

A small amount of play in the rack and track rod ends make a big 
difference to the way the car handles
