Back to seriousness, if I had this problem and wished to punt the inevitable VSS replacement, I would take off the VC and apply the AT-205 directly to the seals, put enough on that a small puddle formed that can capillary wick through to any part touching the stem and maybe do 2-3 applications like that over a day time before putting the VC back on and add a bottle of 205 to the oil. If that doesn't help it's time for the operation. |
All helpful suggestions. I appreciate the insight and have a lot of steering/suspension items to get knocked out prior to a big decision on VSS. I just changed oil on a new to me ‘04 4.8is and thought if AT-205 could help AND I already have a bottle...it would be worth diving deeper into suggestion. 185k miles with NO service history. Long live Xoutpost!
