Gearbox Lower Seal Replacement

[TheGreatWhite]

Is it possible to replace the lower seal on the gearbox where the pitman arm meets it? Its leaking pretty badly on my new-to-me 99 and I am wondering if I need a new gearbox or just a new seal if its possible. Anything helps, thanks!!

Yes. Talk to Ryan at bluetop he's got seal kits. He's also vendor here on the site.

Cant seem to find it on his website, only good ole Ferd seal kits.

Might have to call him on that... I know I got a seal kit for my old box but the rust was so bad. I sent as a core. I know he can do seal kits. The contact info everything is in his forum area. If you post over there it should bring him to the site.

Do you remember what it cost you? I found a kit from Advanced Auto Parts for $9 with 2 seals and a clip, of course I dont know what one of these kits consists of.

If your bearing is wore a seal won't fix it for very long. Do you have a gear box brace to keep that bearing from flexing beyond it's capabilities.

No. Its just leaking out the seal so I think all I need is a seal. The truck steers very well surprisingly, better than most 2nd gens so I believe all I need is a seal.
