FYI, when you pick up your new truck. They do not come with grease on the steering stops. The factory left it for you to do

'82 Mustang GT (drag)
'48 Ford F1 pkup

 

were exactly are they??

 

They are the round metal blocks (about 3/4 in dia.) that come in contact with the backside of the spindle. You will see a slight indentation on the spindle where the stop meets it. Smear this indentation with about 1/4 in of grease.

 

snakepit, One of mine was greased and one was dry.When I backed up with the wheels cut sharp I heard a snap,after I greased the dry one the noise stopped. Go figure!

 

service writer showed than greased mine
