[DeTomaso] Lube in steering rack

[Julian Kift]

I thought the recommended (by Cam Gears / TRW) and preferred lubricant was now a '0' weight grease? In fact I think that might have come from a respected De Tomaso enthusiast that had rebuilt literally 100's of racks.......

Jeff,

To elaborate—it’s not necessary to change it. But if it has all leaked out it must be replaced.

5 1/3 oz of 80-90 gear oil is the spec.
