The pitman arm and idler arm on my '73 are shot and the steering box leaks. I have rounded up a new pitman arm--so no problem there. The problems lie with the idler arm and the steering box.
The idler arm I got from Autozone was definitely not the right one. Their computer specs the same one for manual or P/S--either way it doesn't fit a P/S car. Does anyone sell a new idler/center link bushing that I could just replace that bushing? That appears to be all that is wrong with mine. If not, any ideas where to get one that doesn't cost a fortune?
On the steering box--it seems solid but leaks. I bought a seal kit for the power steering box but I found that you need special tools to take it apart. Has anyone replaced the seals on their 71-73 steering box and have useful advice they could share on how it is done?
Thanks for any help!!!
