Power steering gear box leaks (pictures)

I've seen steering gear worn to the point where shaft travels up and down through the seal. Shaft diameter worn down where the seal runs too. New seal may only lessen a leak. Good luck with it. With a column shift you probably will loose linkage/neutral safety switch adjustment. Rarely does the column bolt back in exactly where it was. Once done, if the car wont start in park, it likely will start in neutral. For most, that linkage adjust point is under the car. Good luck with it.
