Steering Box Identification

Post by kev73dart »

Hi All

Sorry for multiple posts tonight!

My Power Steering Box is leaking slightly from the seal where the column shaft goes into it.
The repair kits are only $15 but I need to know whether it is a Chrysler unit or a Saginaw, can anyone tell me how to identify it?

Thanks

Kev

I am pretty sure the boxes are all the same unit. It is the PUMPS that are different. You must be looking at the pump rebuild kits?

hi, it might be worth trying this first, it would save a load of work. I have used it in (yank) steering boxes in the past and it really does work if the leak is like a couple of drops a day. It works by slightly swelling the seals
