Rub out steering leaks.


Mechanics, are you getting reports of low steering fluid in your unit's Strykers? Could be that the backup steering pump hose is getting a little too familiar with the drive shaft drive shaft also drive·shaft
n.
A rotating shaft that transmits mechanical power from a motor or an engine to a point or region of application.
 on those vehicles.

On some Strykers, there's not enough clearance between the drive shaft and the hose. That causes rubbing rubbing,
v creating friction and heat by drawing the hands across the body at varying speeds, rhythms, and depths. Benefits include muscle elongation, tension release, and increased flexibility.
 that leads to leaks.

During each Stryker's next scheduled maintenance, open the rear engine access panel and look at the rear of the power pack where the drive shaft connects to the transfer case. If the backup steering pump hose is touching the drive shaft, tie the hose to the main steering and auxiliary hoses using two cable ties, NSN NSN National Stock Number
