Let us reseal your steering box: bit.ly/2kaZ8Lq
In this video I'll show you how to rebuild your saginaw power steering gear box. That means taking it apart, cleaning, inspecting, and replacing all the seals. The saginaw boxes are very common and came in many Jeeps, Chryslers, Chevys, Dodges, and others.

Corvair owner with huge 80 degrees of steering wheel play - column though does wobble! Already this has been helpful (lost half a turn when I loosened the jam nut - so, great catch by you in that prior video!)

G'day from Oz Matty.. Awesome video mate.. I read some of the comments. i'm not sure if anyone has pass this info on. Just wanted to share a little trick with the Ball bearings in the Piston housing. If you remove your Rotary valve (by turning Anti-clockwise) from the Unit keeping the steering box Horizontal you can slide the Piston out with the balls inside. When you pull the piston out have a container underneath to catch any stray ones (They usually stay inside the piston). And when reinstalling use a little grease to hold the balls in place in the guide tube and then pack the piston from one hole only starting with the next color inline to match the way you packed the tube (again with a little grease to help hold them in place). When reinstalling the Piston into the housing have the end plug removed so you can see the magic take place.. Allow the worm gear to pull the piston in and hey presto.. It's a bit easier and allows you more room to play around. Hope that help others when doing the install.. All the best for New Year everyone.. =)

I am familiar with rebuilding various types of steering boxes and have done so in the past. I have also seen various videos and tutorials on Sag box rebuilds, but I must say that this one is really clear and informative for the average person. The explanations are clear and the video itself is as well. I am sure that it will convince many people that they can undertake this project with basic hand tools, confidence and patience. Great job : < )

Very clear tear down, seal replacement. I wish that you would have touched on steering wheel play, and shaft play.(the bearing you did not take out) I was hoping you where going to talk through it.But you passed on. Which these are my box symptoms. I have very few that leaked. But all have had some degree of play at the steering wheel. And a '72 corvette that had extreme shaft play. You make great videos.

The ball bearings were the toughest part, and I watched, then paused, then watched, and paused the video 20 times, to get it right! Thank you both for posting this video!! I subscribed just because of that info! Stay safe, stay well, and wear a mask!! We'll get through this virus, eventually..., God willing, and the creek don't rise!

maybe so, before you take it back make sure you have it centered... to check it now make sure your tires turn from lock to lock.

if the bearing is bad it should be replaced. the nut on top only adjusts the backlash of the gears inside.

Hi Matt, Damn I screwed up. Put the collar on the casing of pit shaft for the box brace. also did the jcr strengthening plate. Got it all back together and pulled out of my garage and boom...Leaking now! ....Pretty sure I tightened the collar too tight and blew the seal.

@l337pwnage 11 жыл бұрын

Good video. The closest I ever came to rebuilding a box is replacing the pitman shaft seals in my AGR box. The seals had failed because AGR re-engineered the seal system without realizing that they are not actual engineers, lol. I just put an OEM seal kit in it.

That being said, I just looked at this durango swap. I do not need hyro assist. I am only running 33s 456 gears 99xj all the works..sye..etc and I don't rock climb..It's a DD and I tow a Cargo trailer time and time ...78,000 original miles...never had a problem with this steering box till now. never any play. Just fluid coming out of the seals after the jcr plate and box brace. I do have a winch bumper on there so that extra space on the bolts might be a issue. It was a bitch getting in. The longer bolts thread to the end of the box tapping so don't think that's a issue. I have to take this box out and see exactly where this leak is. It is either the top seal, bottom seal from what I can see. Hoses and flare fittings are still intact. I might have cracked this box tightening the bolts on the re-install. I will learn this vid if I decide to rebuild so thanks Matt for all of these great videos. I am from Rockland County NY and far from you guys. I wanted to come see you for the Jamboree but can't make it. Maybe some day. Thanks again. Sincerely. Ricky G.

I have a friend who’s dad is rebuilding mine but said he will make it a fixed steer gear box instead of a variable speed steer. He said there will be zero play in the box off of center so I am very interested in how it will drive when I get it back. He’s rebuilt thousands of these and from reading a variable speed box is better on heavier vehicle so I hope it has a race car feel of steering to it. I never liked how the Jeep steered
