Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

So I took the truck out Tuesday and yesterday, and man is the power steering a treat to park with. I also had a huge amount of slop in the old manual steering box, so cruising down the highway at 55 is actually fun now that there's much less play. The tighter ratio is great too.

I think my reman p/s box is leaking at the input shaft (shocker right). Of course this could be due to poor rebuild quality, but is it possible that my steering column is putting some pressure on the input shaft causing it to leak? When I installed the box, the column was 3/8" off center. I kinda just pushed it over onto the rag joint, so there's probably a little sideways tension on the rag joint/ input shaft. Can I loosen/ adjust the column somewhere so it takes tension off, like at the firewall?
