Thread: 98 110 Steering box

yep delt with them before. It will be interesting to see if they are near the Ebay prices....

I have no idea why its leaking but could this lead to some vague steering? I know I have lost castor due to my lift, but isnt that mostly return to center?? Im talking about play in the steering wheel before it makes a input. I can move the wheel a good 5 degrees at 40km/h and get pretty much no steering....Id have to say its worse but as these things slowly happen its hard to know.

All links have new bushes except panhard.

Sorry I had them confused with Britsih off road on the Sunny Coast.....I just checked them on Ebay and their feedback doesnt inspire much confidence

Ah, thats not something I have ever noticed before because they are local to me, never bought anything off their ebay store yet. A few customers of mine have bought good priced steering boxes off them, for me to fit. they were all pretty happy.

Hi,

I recently replaced all the links and bushes on the front end of "The Count". At the same time I rebuilt the pitman (steering drop) arm ball joint with a $15 OME kit versus buying a new arm at $90.

To pull the arm, I used a Stanley brand Pitman Arm Puller from Supercheap ($40), which required some minor fiddling and encouragement to get on properly, but did the job well once lined up.

While there, I cleaned up the output shaft then replaced the outer oil seal (kit with 3 output seals and circlip was $28). That seems to have stopped the slow leak that was there prior. As it was pretty simple work, I am thinking I will put the rest of the seals on if the leak starts again...

Will add some photo's of relevant stuff later.

Cheers, Dave.

still doing some research....pullers etc

any tips/tricks for doing the rebuild kit on the ball joint?

Any tips on fluid types. Should I flush the system or anything like that?

Any speacial tools used to do this task?

Any dos, donts for setting the steering when box refitted?

bump...

also are there O Rings on the hyd fittings? If so, where to buy for replacement?

Yes, I'd do a complete fluid flush before removing the old box.

I'll get back to you on fluid choice

thanks mate,

also What is the best/safe way to set truck up so front axle is in droop. I have both ramps and axle stands. Looking at the chassis there isnt any where really forward of the axle. Rear of it it has the arch up over the axle...is it ok to put them back where it starts to curve up? ....
