Hello Gentlemen

I don' t find tech specs about type of oil and quantity for zf steering rack.

Having fully dismantled and cleaned it during restoration I wonder about this issue.

Anticipated thanks
Max

It should just be re-greased. There is a chapter in the workshop manual that gives you the quantity of lithium based grease to use.

My memory is great... or is it because i did this job last week. :lol:

Hi Max,
I'd also like to point you in the direction of two excellent posts from Chris at Fenn Lane Motorsport ("fetuhoe" on here).

About the pressure pad:

About the correct grade of grease:

fetuhoe wrote:to maintain the 'feel' of the rack it is best to use the correct grade of Liqui-Moly (LM47-L) Lubricant as too stiff a grease will make the rack feel 'sticky'.
Message to Chris: since I've just saved you 5 minutes replying, please can you use that time to kick the suppliers of my aluminium bumper corners up the backside? :wink:
Many thanks!

Cheers, Richard.
