TRW steering box....grease or 90wt oil

[David Head]

I need to top off my TRW steering box.
Grease or 90wt oil. What's your preference???

[mike cook]

I use grease our cars are lighter then stock and less chance of leaking if your seals are bad I have part # for new seals

I've got a TRW box and have a bad leak around the shaft to the steering wheel. How hard it that seal to change out?

[mike cook]

not bad at all I took my box apart cleaned it really good powder coated it put in new seals and filled it with grease

[mike cook]

here are the brand and part #s large seal SKF 562828 small seal SKF 6405 hope this helps others to get seals in the future

90wt oil is what is called for and has always worked well for me.

[Bill K]

Mike, where can you get the seals?

[David Head]

Not to step on your toes Bryan, but Mike, are you just using bearing grease???

[mike cook]

you can get the seals at any place that sells bearings and seals or some napa stores can order them just check around, the grease I used was for wheel bearings.I have a friend that just uses STP and swears by it for years says it clings to the bearings and shafts better then oil or grease!!!

I once had a 56 Ford pickup with a loose steering box. I mixed STP motor honey with 90w oil (half and half). Worked like a champ! It really tightened it up.

I have an extra set of seals if anyone needs them $15.00 shipped paypal this is for 2 seals for both shafts
