Pittman arm seal, repair or replace steering box?
I just realized I have a massive leak on my pittman arm seal. Any opinions on just replacing the seal? Or is it better to just by a new steering box?

You can replace the seal but if the box has wear just buy a new one !

I bought a kit for mine to replace all the seals and rings. Haven't done it yet as I'm waiting to get a new car

If it were mine, I'd probably just replace the whole steering box. I've got a RedHead steering box on mine, I'd recommend that to you too.

No repairs, just get a new one. They're not that expensive and it's for you're own good. You don't want to fu*k with the steering box

For that kind of scratch, you could get a borgeson box, intermediate shaft, and install it yourself in an hour.... For less money...... And have a nice box..
