steering suggestions ?
Hey all, i am getting the 1980 slowly put back together. The Front A arms are almost done, except for the passenger side which is turning into a major pita. I have had the car on a lift and have noticed recently that my power steering is leaking; quite a bit actually. I guess my question is weather or not to go ahead and replace the steering with with something else, or rebuild it. I am leaning to rebuilding the original, i have heard a lot of problems with the steeriods kits and the like. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for everyones previous help,

Search is your friend in this case. This has been discussed to death, some like the Jeep steering setup, some steeroids, others the stock setup with a blueprinted steering box. Your leaks could simply be the hoses or a combination of hoses, cylinder seal, and control valve.

Someone posted pics of a broken Steeroids gusset or something a while ago. I inspected mine carefully after that and couldn't find any sign of stress or flex such as cracks in the powder coating. Mine have worked flawlessly for 3 years of street driving with an occasional spontaneous g-force or sway bar test.
