CJ Power Steering is leaking!!!
Where the steering shaft connects to the stearing box is leaking,..maybe a
seal around there??? It's leaking pretty bad. How hard are these to remove and replace O rings or whatever seals are there? The boot that covers the ujoint is also torn so I might as well get in there and do what I can. Oh,...and who might sell this stuff? Thanks! Allen 83 CJ7 |
Re: CJ Power Steering is leaking!!!
I had one that leaked at the pitman arm, so I bought the rebuild kit from
Advanced Auto (I think it was about $30). When I opened it up and looked at the hundreds of O-rings, washers and seals, I took it back. A couple of days later I bought a rebuilt box (about $180) and turned the old one in for the core charge. IMHO, it was worth the $150 difference. -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, Dana 30 Front.

Re: CJ Power Steering is leaking!!!
Plus you get a new worm gear with the rebuilt box. You'd be supprised
on how much play it will take out of the steering.

Re: CJ Power Steering is leaking!!!
I bought the rebuild kit a few years ago at Napa, and it still sits on my
work bench waiting. Some gorilla tightened the flare fittings so tight that I can't get them loosened without removing the grill. <ABanks5@columbus.rr.com> wrote in message news:myitb.5480$uw5.4458@fe2.columbus.rr.com... > Where the steering shaft connects to the stearing box is leaking,..maybe a > seal around there???
