leaky manual steering gearbox

Lithium based chassis grease only fill box 1/4-1-3 full to allow for expansion caused by proximity to exhaust-- do not overfill you need space in there for air pockets to allow grease to move around moving parts--- any type of "oil" will cause leaks which is caused by internal pressures from the steering box heated up and being forced out the end of the box oil you will have leaks grease no leaks---Fed387
