Help with power steering leak

[tk064]

My power steering is leaking like crazy where the shaft goes onto the box. Is there a seal rebuild kit from somebody to fix this. Can't find any parts in my area.

Thanks

sounds like the steering sector shaft seal. I redid the seal you mentioned and the seal on the bottom at the pitman back in august. I found the seals at autozone. seems like they cost me $14.

There is a kit to buy to replace the seals at Zone as stated.

Make sure you read up on the breakdown thoroughly before just tearing into it.

There is a preload on the thrust washer/bearing that must be kept. If my memory serves me correctly, you must mark and count the number of turns it take to remove the lockring AND the thrust washer. If not, you will not have a safely operating box.

Thanks for the info. There is an Autozone on the far side of town, I'll give them a call.
