Default Rear End

My rear end is leaking on my 81 and I cannot find a replacement seal in town. Anyone know where I could look to get my hands on one? Also my power steering is leaking all out from a valve on one of the steering pieces near the ball joint assembly. I do not know what the part is called and I really need to get a replacement. Any suggestions??? :confused:

Is it the PS control valve that's leaking? If so, you can buy a rebuild kit or get a rebuilt one from a place like Muskegon Brake.

I don't know what to tell you about the rear end seal. Did you try Zip or Mid America?

Good luck!

I really need to find a picture of the steering system so I can point out exactly what is leaking. I'll probably be able to find that rear end seal somewhere around here.
