Speakking of Steering Boxes . . .
Last week I changed the power steering hydraulic oil from "whatever was
in there" to Redline synthetic power steering fluid. The steering had
always balked and squawked in tight low-speed situations like parking.
Well the second that synthetic fluid hit the system I could spin the
wheel stop-to-stop (on gravel) with little or no resistance. Looks
like synthetic is a winner!

I also installed an oil cooler in the steering system. Hopefully the
valve action will improve out on the road and hydraulic noise will be
reduced.

Many thanks to David KerryEdwards and others who have shared their
experiences and suggested the synthetic oil and cooler.
