Subject: Re: [FWDLK] 1955 power steering
leak
Hi Chuck,
That sleeve is called a shaft saver or something like
that, I had one on a pinion one time from a car I'm trying to save, and
basically- it's an emergncy effort that didn't work in this case! Is
there any side to side/lateral play in the arm? Could be a worn shaft in
the area of the seal, who know's- the kit may work for you! If the box
is not too loose. I think the problem is if you try to use the same size
seal with sleeve it wears it out a little too fast outside of design
parameters!
Good luck,
Bob

assist!)
Hi Everyone I have been trying to
stop the leak at the pitman arm shaft for a few years now and have installed a
few seals. This weekend I am going to try installing a new seal again
with a shim that I was told would take care of it.{ I can?t remember the name
of if it slides over the shaft and you then install the seal}
I was wondering if anyone else
with this problem has had any luck with one of these seals with this shim or
is there another way to repair this with out removing the power steering unit
as this is the only leak and the steering seems to work
great.
I also have an issue with my
brakes I rebuilt the booster and master about a year and half ago and the
brakes work great but when I first press on the pedal there is a lot of play I
have to pump the pedal a little then the brakes feel and work fine. Is
there air in the line ? or is there some think else I should be
checking. I have a big car show in August in stowe Vermont and just want
to take care of these few problems first.
