RE: [DML] No More Steering "Stiction"

[jwit6@xxxx]

Just did the same thing and although the stiction is not totally gone, it is markedly improved. Would still like to replace the oil though, so I'll ask again.... Is there anyway to drain the oil without removing the rack. Short of hanging the car by the rear facia and letting it drip out the pinion cap? :-)
Thanks,

So today I got ?a sheet of 22 gauge stainless and cut out a strip 4.5" X 14" and covered the opening in the frame in front of the steering rack. This effectively blocks the radiant heat from the radiator and fans. (not to mention all the rocks and debris) Then I went for a long hot ride and I'll be damned if the "stiction" wasn't completely eliminated! What a pleasure to drive again! Thanks to all of you for the help!
