system
should
be
lubricated

every
two

years

or
50
000
km

000
miles
whichever
comes

fIrst

A
lithium
base

multipurpose
grease
must
be
used
for
the

rack
and

pinion
and
rack
and
tie
rod

joints
The

plug
on
the

steering
gear
housing
should
be
removed
and
a

grease
nipple

fitted
so
that
the
recommended

quantity
of
10
to

15

gram

0
35
to

0
53
oz
of

grease
can
be

injected
Remove
the

grease

nipple
and

replace
the
plug
when
lubrication
is

completed

The

grease
reservoir
on
the
tube
side
should
be

replenished
when

the
level
of

grease
falls
to

approximately
one
third
ofits

capacity
