Rebuilding the steering box..
As soon as I swaped in the 7.4l Vortec in my truck my steering box started leaking. I kinda have a theory but not sure- I used the powersteering pump from the 7.4l motor which was had a hydroboost setup. I have read that the hydroboost powersteering pumps have more pressure and thats what caused the leak...
But on the flip side- I did just swap in the front suspension clip from a 1979 5/8's ton truck with included this steering box, it could have had the leak before.. So does the powersteering pump from a hydroboost system have more pressure? It only leaks when I shut it off, but it leaks alot out. I have never rebuilt a steering box before, are they pretty simple? And if I did rebuild it- replace a seal or whatever is causing it to leak.... will it leak again because of the powersteering pump???? Thanks---- |
