I was reading about the manual rack in the '88 FSM (it's interesting to note how different it is) and it actually gives a "twist" requirement for the rack that dictates the yoke plug position. I'll probably play with a bit tonight. I need to open it up to add some more lubrication, and back off the torque on the pinion bolt anyway (too high - I didn't realize it was only 14-22 lbf-ft).
Do you use ATF or something similar to lubricate the seals like the FSM requires? I was going to try to slather some 5W30 on the passenger side of the rack to help the rack more easily move through the rack bushing but was wondering if ATF or PS fluid would be a better idea?
