MG TD TF 1500 - Storage Lesson Learned

Gentlemen,
Went to get the TF from storage today and discovered that I had parked the car with the steering wheel turned hard to one side. A black pool of heavy oil under the driver's front wheel showed that the rubber steering rack gaiter had split apart, dumping its contents on the garage floor. Next time I'll ensure that its parked with the steering pointing straight ahead. Very disappointing that a three year old rubber gaiter would self distruct so quickly ( cheap aftermarket replacement?)

Gene,

I appreciate stories like yours. When I rebuilt the suspension on my TD, the boots I had put on in 1979 were still in great shape. I elected to clean them up and reinstall them rather than replace, mostly due to comments I had read similar to yours. Thank you for letting everyone in on your experience. The willingness to share is one of the things that makes this board and our hobby great.

warmly,
dave
