Power Steering Box

[MR4V]

Noticed that my power steering box has a oil leak in my 73 Dart, I have adjusted the play & the whole front end has a new PST premium kit in it.

I have looked at there site but can not find a rebuild kit, who supplies rebuild kits?

How hard is it to convert to manual steer & what is required?

Thanks

Not sure where to get the kit "down under" but around here a rebuild kit can be had from any local parts place, they have to order it but it's available.

As far as converting to manual steering, you'd need:
manual box 73 - up
pitman arm
steering column from a manual steer car or an adapter.
* strong arms

A new power steering box isn't all THAT expensive unless you go with firm feel or steer and gear, but you get what you pay for. ( I've heard that the parts store boxes are built with "guesswork" )

Thanks for that. I was not sure if I needed the steering column.
What adapter do I need ?
Coming over in August to the end of September so I will pick up a kit from a parts store.

Well, The steering adapter is not your average piece...
Not cheap but can be had from a number of sources.

Thanks for that. Your right about the price, then add for the box & pitman arm.
