Power steering parts to replace
I've had a ton of play in my steering for a while now and the steering box leaks like crazy at the rag joint...... so I just ordered a psc steering box and have started taking things apart. Are there other things I should be replacing at the same time? I'll definitely replace the rag joint, but is there any need to replace the power steering pump and the pittman arm? the pump seems to be working fine. I just wanted to get your opinions since I'm the guy that just replaced my clutch and didn't know to replace the rear main seal at the same time! lol
any advice would be appreciated. |

Re: Power steering parts to replace
Is there any play in the pittman arm, if not don't replace it. Did you check the rest of the front end for play? Was all of the play in the steering box alone?

Places to look pitman arm, idler arm inner and outer tie rod ends. Shake those bad boys looking for play if none then shake the wheel after the new rag joint is put in to see if you still have play

Re: Power steering parts to replace
X2 I had the same issues with my steering, and it turned out to be the Pittman arm, seems like to they wear out a lot. They vary a lot in price, the best deal I found was at Napa.
