yeah it is supposed to have gear oil in it but the oil seal was F#@%ED so i adjusted it nice and tight and then filled it with grease cuz its to thick to leak. pretty sure it will b ok. hasnt caused any problems yet.

dunno exactly what the adjustmet does inside the box. I just released the lock nut and kept tweaking it and checking play at the steering till it felt and looked good. Then backed it off a little and tightend the lock nut. Then pumped the grease in. Made a whole world of difference
