While rebuilding my steering box I note there is quite a bit of existing damage to the "worm bearing race nut". Someone before me obviously drifted it off instead of using the 150$ ford tool, so the previously square holes are pretty banged up... it still works fine (apparently), but I think it...

I am going to need a new drag link for my 79 F150 4x4. I like doing business with Bronco Graveyard, and they sell Elgin brand. Rock Auto would be my second choice, they sell Raybestos service and professional, as well as Moog and a couple others.I have no experience with Elgin Industries. Do...

Hi folks;Have removed steering box and pitman nut from said box, now I need to pull the arm off.I've read a lot of people who say a puller is needed, and how it works, and how to assist it, and so forth. What I don't have is a PULLER! My local parts stores seem to stock the 15-20$ pullers...

Hi folks;I've got a 1979 F150 4x4 with a leak at the input shaft of the power steering box.I'm guessing I need to replace the seals.Questions: 1) Where is a good place to get replacement seals from? NAPA, Broncograveyard, other places? 2) Is it a good idea to just rebuild the thing...

On to the next problem!I have a small leak in my 79 4x4 power steering (Ford type steering box). It APPEARS that the leak is coming from the pressure hose where it enters the steering box (I cleaned it up then started it, and the drips appear to be coming from this hose fitting). I removed the...

I'm putting my Dana 44 back together, and one of the things I've done is replace the U Joint on the drivers side cause the old one was busted pretty bad. I read on a website recently that one needs to align the U Joints on either side of the differential so they are in line, or else vibration...

While replacing some suspension components I noticed my Front Driver's U joint on the Dana 44 axle shaft is in bad shape. Its wiggling around a lot and looks generally busted.What do I need to know about axle shaft U joints? I read Spicers are nice and lean towards non-lubed versions...

I have the 1979 Ford F-150 factory manual, but I can't find any specifics on the track bar.Anyone know where I can find a description (and pictures) of the track bar in the factory manual (pref w/ chapter numbers, page numbers, etc), or in the Haynes manual, or elsewhere (on the internets)...

Naive question for you folks.Did the 6th gen F150s have an overflow reservoir for coolant? I know there's an overflow hose, but in my particular truck it's cut off and dangles beside the radiator.Is there a need for a coolant reservoir to reclaim the overflow, and if so where can I find...
