- Changing Out a Power Steering Gear Box
• Inspect the power steering system and the suspension system
• Check belts and hoses for cracks, leaks, or oil contamination, and consider replacing them if they are 5 years or older
• Compare the new product to the old product
• Flush the system with recommended fluid type
• Always install a new remote reservoir, if applicable
• Always re-assemble using factory torque specs
• Vacuum bleed the system every time a line is open

This shows me i need to take mine to a mechanic 😂
Same.
Lmfao same 🤣
Haha same
Well I took to ford, and today I found out they didn’t replace it lol I see why now,
I’ll do it for 200$ labor 🤣
This is one of the best videos I have seen on this subject. Thanks!
Thank you!
not exactly how my t444e is set up but very well done indeed.
01-2022 be advised that Ford used two type pressure hose ends for this period of vehicles. One used 'o' rings the other uses reverse flare tubing. Because some previous purchasers did not verify the reverse flare in the reman gear box someone tried to insert the square off tubing with "O" ring into the high pressure port and destroyed the internal reverse flare male brass fitting. Now Autozone has two damaged units that must return, and I had to find another supplier for the proper unit. My van is a 1992 ford e350 cutaway rv. I am now on my way to CarQuest/Advance parts to pick up another replacement unit and hoping it will not have damaged input pressure ports. Good Luck.
Hi Robert,
If Ford used 2 different pressure hoses they would have 2 different gear box part numbers, and we would also have 2 different part numbers, this may be that someone at some time replaced the gear box on this customer's vehicle with a different box (they all bolt on the same way). If we can get the number on your box, then maybe we can cross it over instead of going by application.
Thanks,

Magic!!! I love it! Funny how there is no detail to actually explaining how difficult reconnecting the steering coupler to the gear box steering gear. C'mon son....
Rhanks for the knowledge!
Best clear and simple instructions (video) on power steering gear replacement ever ! ✅1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣⬆️
Excellent job
WAW. A. SUPER AWESOME. CLASS. TNKS. BLESSED BE SIR
Easy as 123 thank for the video
Great explanation
Loved.
Skip YT ads go to the end of any video then restart ❤❤❤
This is a very nice video, but you skip the steps where you reattach the gear box to the steering axle. I have a current issue after replacing my gear box where the steering wheel in the cabin is at a 90 degrees instead of straight. I think I need to adjust that linkage. what do you think?
Howard,
1. Did you center the gear box, before installing it?
2. Did you immobilize the steering wheel before you removed the gear box?
Thanks,
PWR
Don’t worry ford the same, had to take it right back, now have to take it back since I don’t see a new gear box installed lol
As much as I love this videos informative guide, My wallet hurts seeing this having realized what I need to do to fix my current leaking steering box. Mechanic:$$$-$$$$. Myself: a weekend full of bad words and still $$$ in parts.
How did you come up with the 1 and 5/8 inch turn?
Looking for a 1997 1500 Dodge ram 2 wheel drive steering box and the price
Cant you just replace. The seals
Would this be the same on a 97’ GM k3500 with the 6.5L? I purchased a replacement rebuilt gearbox and curious if the rotations are going to be the same .
The concept is the same to center it
I did my pitman arm only. And now my wheel is 180° off (upsidedown) no I didn't move or spin the wheel out of orientation while doing pitman removal or install. Any ideas as to why? Literally pulled old part and installed new. 94 Dodge Dakota 4x4
Hi,
Sorry for the delayed response!
On the steering wheel being out 180 degrees, I assume the front wheels were straight when you replaced the pitman arm, even if you had the steering wheel in the proper position when you removed the pitman arm, if the steering wheel is not held in position, it can possibly slowly turn 180 degrees out if nothing is holding it, if it is top heavy.
Thanks,
PWR
Do you need to vaccum bleed? I see most people dont.
Hi John,
Yes in some cases people do not vacuum bleed, but the proper procedure is that every time a line is open the system should be bled. In some case the air will escape by itself, but the safer side is to bleed the system.
Thank you,
PWR
@@PWRSteer where do you get bleed adapters for bigger reservoirs?
@@johncarlos7810,
We use the Mityvac MVA670 Power Steering Adapter Kit, which contains 4 adapters.
Thank you,
PWR
