Re-greasing and adjusting the steering rack is a very worthwhile little job that greatly improves the light feel of driving the four/four. Wash out the old grease replace grease with your choice of something sticky. Replace any rubber boots that look periched or split. Adjust the pressure on the spring above the plastic bush thingy - this should only need a small adjustment by a couple of flats to the bolt and of course not to forget the locking tabs afterwards. Re attach making sure to properly tighten up everything and turn up the remaining washer tabs to lock all bolts in place. Vital is the careful road test afterwards, to be sure all is feeling nice and as it should be. Choose a quiet and slow approach. Double check for tightness of every nut and bolt afterwards.
