I read in my shop manual that the rack and pinion steering box is a closed unit and grease cannot be added. I was told by o'reilys auto parts that the steering box is going out and must be replaced. they do have them available.
they told me if not replaced it will eventually freeze up totally. my question is this: how long can I let this wait, should I not drive the car at all or were they wrong in their diagnosis? is there anything I can do besides replacing this rack and pinion box. doesn't look like a hard job and price is reasonable but I have 2 other cars that need things done and I was hoping the chevette would not need any attention for awhile.
any feedback appreciated.
