Message:   Not sure here, Matt. I had them rebuild mine and when it came back it was leaking some blue lubricant out of the top of box, right where the shaft goes in at the top bearing. I called them on it and they said they probably forgot to use RTV on the nut etc. Hmmm.....

This wasn't any chassis grease that I've ever seen, but was a blue lube like maybe 90wt.

I still haven't found out for sure what is making the truck steer w-a-y s-l-o-w-e-r than it ever did before. Might be the axle so can't be sure, but it seems kinda puzzling. Feels like the fast chuck was replaced with a slow ratio chuck, but they said it wasn't. Don't know...
