Reseal the pitman shaft on a leaking steering gear with the Sunsong Steering Gear Pitman Shaft Seal Kit, MPN 8401138. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1983-1990 Chevrolet B60, 1983-1990 Chevrolet C50 and 1990 Chevrolet C5500 Kodiak. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full vehicle list.
The pitman shaft passes out of the steering gear housing to drive the pitman arm. The seals in this kit are designed to keep fluid inside the gear where that shaft exits the housing. If a worn pitman shaft seal is the cause of a steering gear leak, this kit supplies the replacement seals for the repair.
Signs this part may need replacing: fluid seeping from the steering gear where the pitman shaft exits, wet residue around the pitman arm area, or a steering system that keeps losing fluid. Confirm the leak source before replacing. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct procedure. Consult it for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
