Ordered a new power steering box from Classic Industries. It's an 11033 Lares unit. After some arm and finger wounding and some intermittent cussing over several days, I got the stock box off and the new unit on the 72 Duster. This was the original steering box that came off as far as I know. It was steering decent even after the pump replacement which fixed my nasty squeal. Then after some time and a few runnings later, the steering box blew an input shaft seal from what I could tell and was leaking. I was wondering if anyone has one of these running good on a Mopar. Mine doesn't do much except blow bubbles. Bleeding numerous times. Had lines back off and back together to try for better seal maybe. It straightened out some with the wheels off the ground. It would steer back and forth fairly smoothly like that, but was making foam in the reservoir. Acted fairly bad with front tires on the ground. Real hard to turn at first and a little assist kicked in mostly on right direction. Sometimes going left. Not encouraging enough results to drive around the block. Talked to the Lares guy who thought I was developing a binding when letting the front back down to the ground.
