Posted August 24, 201014 yr comment_328801 Hey guys. Earlier today when I drove my Z I noticed that when turning to the left my steering (or something in it is sqeaking). The front bearing are all new, and I'm wondering if anyone else had any issues like this in the past?

August 27, 201014 yr Author comment_329110 I think I've discovered the source of the sqeaking. Has anyone ever done this. Is plain ol' white lithium grease ok or should i use wheel bearing grease?

August 27, 201014 yr comment_329125 Wheel bearing grease is much better than lithium in this application. Most racks have a grease fitting so you can just pump it in.DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE RACK SCREW AS YOU CAN CAUSE THE STEERING TO STAY LOCKED IN ONE POSITION OR TURN AND NOT ALLOW THE WHEELS TO RETURN TO CENTER.Be very, very careful testing your redone rack out on the street. It might take a few tries before you get it just right. I say this because the man who's article you link to, nearly got us both injured when he tightened up my rack a bit too much.
