Default 1971 Power Steering Ram Rebuild

I heard that a new seal kit is available for one end of the piston but is the knuckle joint on the other end repairable?

You can get a repair kit WITHOUT the replacement knuckle; and you can get one WITH a new knuckle. Select wisely, Grasshopper...

P.S. When making that repair, keep track of the order and orientation of the layers of seal materials you remove...so that you can [correctly] reverse the process when you rebuild. Also, take care NOT to scuff, scratch, or damage the outside surface of the apply rod.
