If you haven't done so yet, now would be a good time to change the lines as well.
There have been many failures due to age, it will fail... it is just a matter of time.
I swapped out my lines in one afternoon with this kit. https://www.busdepot.com/251498100

Subject: moaning, steering rack and me

Van Folks,
My 87 syncro has a steering rack that started moaning when used. This started about two days ago, so I parked it and now I have to deal with it.
Any ideas? By the way these would be ideas for a mechanic as I have started moaning too, but with a hurty back so I won't be doing much of anything for a while.
This is Friday so maybe somebody can tell me how to turn off the spelling autocorrect in yahoo email on a mac laptop? Darn thing 'corrects' incorrectly many more times than it 'corrects' correctly [that seems a bit incoherent but the meds for the back pain are my excuse] I'd send this to the syncro list too but my Mac forgot the address

Mike MThe cotati one who van does not look better than new
