my 94' c1500 is leaking power steering fluid. its leaking from the device which sits in the front of the truck underneath the radiator. and its leaking from the where that device attaches to the arms the of the steering system. what do i need to do to fix this?

 

its easiest to just change that whole gearbox and have the truck re aligned

 

ok, so the device i am talking about is the power steering gear box. i got one of those haynes repair manuals so it can guide me threw removal and instalation. just how hard is it to actually replace the box? also i gotta get new tires, so i probably wanna get the new tires first, then replace the gearbox, then do the alignment, right?

 

yea i would also check the rest of the steering components while you are at it the gear box isnt too hard to change its just gettin the pitman arm off but if you rent the tool its not too bad

 

cool. whats the name of the tool i would have to rent? would i also need a torque wrench in replaceing the steering gear?

 

its a pitman arm puller personally i never used a torque wrench but it wouldnt hurt
