Hey all new to this particular site, but with the same name under many others.
Either way, good site.
Story goes, I've had my rig for a while. 88 Cherokee. Lifted, ect ect.
Went offroading, got stuck in a bog. Assuming the added stress of turning larger tires out of huge ruts I made, the powersteering knuckle at the pitman arm is leaking like a siv.
Im not sure if there is a seal replacement that I can purchase and install, or is the whole unit pooched?
Thanks,
Nav

I do believe there is a seal replacement...but you will need to remove the pitman(which can sometimes be a pain) If you need more clarification or others that may know more check out http://www.soxja.org(Southern Ontario XJ Assosiation) or www.jeepkings.caHope this helps Hope to see ya on the trails sometime Where abouts are you from |

I,m not one hundred % sure but i,ve jimmied a pitmant arm off my F250 doing so rip that seal to shit, & i'd think its safe to say that if i put a seal back in that one it wouldn't last as its been stretched somehow just my two cents don't know as i was replacing it with one from a scrap yard but what im getting at is it sounds like its been stressed too much and prolly should be replaced as a seal is prolly almost half the price of a used steering box, Happy trailing wish i could wheel with ya's i'm not aloud as it would be too cool, cool things don't happen to me anymore LOL.
