Sunsong Steering Gear Seal Kit P/N:8401151
Tackle a seeping steering gear at the source with the Sunsong Steering Gear Seal Kit, part number 8401429. It is a direct-fit application for the 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe. The kit brings together the components needed to reseal the steering unit during a repair, rather than replacing the whole gear. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The seals inside a steering gear stay in place in the housing and seal around the moving shafts to keep fluid inside the unit. Over time, seals can wear or deteriorate and let fluid escape. Signs this kit may be needed include fluid seeping or dripping from the steering gear, a fluid level that keeps dropping, and fluid residue on the gear housing. If worn seals are causing the leak, this kit supplies replacement seals so you can reseal the unit. Diagnose the leak source first, and follow the vehicle service information for disassembly and reassembly.
