Hey guys, after a weekend in the high country, come home a day early because the Mrs shite herself on the first day between Talbotville and Wonnangatta on a steep rocky hill climb (I think it was Station Track), and having a death match on the same tack at a narrow section with 3 other 4by's as to who was going to reverse. (I give her dues as this was the 1st time she had ever been wheelin with me), Then getting home a day early only to have my Lightforce 240 blitz stolen from outside my house that night (When we should have still been camping) Now I find that the power steering is leaking fluid, it appears to be around where the shaft goes into the steering box, any ideas if there is simply a seal in there? if so does anyone have a part number or anythin? Otherwise what are my options?

Cheers

Azz

No idea with a part n# for the seal. Best bet would be to ring around the steering wksp's for a price.
Had mine rebuilt bout two years ago for bout $350-400(? too long ago!) when the pitman arm bearing decide to become lazy ;)

we reco these at work but 300-400 it will cost ya

on the cheap just take it apart and then take the seal into cbc bearings or any bearing joint and they will match it up prolly cost ya 5bux in parts and a few hours labour

ive seen rebuild kits on ebay for around 75 i think
