Steering Box/Gear Qn

Post by Chemist » Sat Dec 16, 2017 2:03 pm

I have a 1985 M998 with a leaky steering box. I think this is what I need for a replacement. Am I correct? I’m going to put a new one on and rebuild the old one as a spare.

I messaged both of you, thanks.

I’m glad I found this forum. With 20 plus green vehicles I should have been on here ages ago.

I just sprung a big input side leak last month on my '85 998. Been busy so decided not to do my own rebuild + West Texas Offroad would do it for ~$180.
Sent it off to them they had it back to me in about 2-days & works perfectly.

Input seal kits can be had for under $50 and it's an easy job.
