Lubricating the Steering

[Jeff Darby]

Anyone know how to lubricate the steering on a 97 800 LXS? I t has a tracker 120 force on it.

What kind of problem? There are zerk fittings at various places. Do have hydraulic or manual cable (dual or single cable)? If lubricating all zerk fittings and still a problem, disconnect the steering at the motor and check for motor or cable or hydraulic problem. I understand that your model normally has cable but if you are not the original owner then there could have been modifications done. Remember "KISS" (Keep It Simple Stupid), start with the simplest and then work toward the hardest, ie. if you cannot get grease into the zerk fitting pull the fitting and install a new one. I have seen people tear down a completely good unit just to find out that the check ball in the zerk is jammed, corroded and completely stuck. Anytime I start trouble shooting I use KISS.
