Early Bronco Power Steering Gear Rebuild Saginaw

My power steering gear was making some noise when turning. Decided to take a look.

Oh boy. I hope you separated the balls into the two sizes and alternated them when you dropped them in. It didn't look like it.

I know what your saying. I saw that online. The balls looked the same color and size. I could be wrong. Its steers fine after I messed with the adjuster. I was reading about two color balls but I didn't see any? This was not the original box. This was on the bronco when I got it 20 years ago.

Sometimes it's difficult to see the color difference. The size difference is about .0005". With the balls randomly installed it won't turn as smoothly as it should.

Steering is just as critical as brakes in regard to safety. Don't take shortcuts with it.
