Subject:      Manual Steering Rack+TieRod Install questions
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi, i am installing a used rack to my 84' I need to
install tie rod assemblies 1st. im using a new tie-rod
and one used tie-rod(good condition). Both Tie rods
have new ball-joints.
Questions:
1. is there a way to re-peen the older tie rod to the
rack so it keeps it from unscrewing? (it was peened
from previous use) Should i not re-use this used tie
rod assembly?
2. can i assemble the rack+tie-rod assemblies all at
once and THEN bolt the whole unit to the van?
3. What kind of grease should i use?, bentley says
only VW steering rack grease....do i really need to
buy this stuff or can i use bearing grease?


I think thats all, Thanks for the help
