Hi Chuck,
That sleeve is called a shaft saver or something like that,
I had one on a pinion one time from a car I'm trying to save, and basically-
it's an emergncy effort that didn't work in this case! Is there any side
to side/lateral play in the arm? Could be a worn shaft in the area of the
seal, who know's- the kit may work for you! If the box is not too
loose. I think the problem is if you try to use the same size seal with
sleeve it wears it out a little too fast outside of design
parameters!
Good luck,
Bob

assist!)
Hi Everyone I have been trying to
stop the leak at the pitman arm shaft for a few years now and have installed a
few seals. This weekend I am going to try installing a new seal again with
a shim that I was told would take care of it.{ I can’t remember the name of if
it slides over the shaft and you then install the seal}
I was wondering if anyone else with
this problem has had any luck with one of these seals with this shim or is there
another way to repair this with out removing the power steering unit as this is
the only leak and the steering seems to work great.
I also have an issue with my brakes
I rebuilt the booster and master about a year and half ago and the brakes work
great but when I first press on the pedal there is a lot of play I have to pump
the pedal a little then the brakes feel and work fine. Is there air in the
line ? or is there some think else I should be checking. I have a
big car show in August in stowe Vermont and just want to take care of these
few problems first.
