Re: Model A Hard to Steer
I hate to say this but the best thing for the steering box is to take it out of the car and take it apart for a thorough cleaning and replacement of any unserviceable parts. When putting it back together, replace the seal nut at the bottom (on a 7 tooth box) with one that has the tube that extends up beyond the level of the oil. That will keep the box from leaking. Replace the grease fitting with a pipe thread plug so that next person does not put grease in the box by mistake. Use 85W-140 G5 gear lube as that will keep the metal parts from wearing and extend the life of the box.
