Hello. I am new to the site but have own my bronco scene 1993.
I ran into a bit of a problem. I have a 1968 bronco. I installed a power steering unit in it around 95 out of a 1974 Bronco. It is a 6 turn box. It been leaking the last couple years. So I decided to do a seal kit. Well when taking it apart the stud on the pitman shaft cracked at the alen head.
So I've been asking around for a new pitman shaft. An there pretty hard to come by. Scene I don't want to spend a bunch of money. Was only planning on a $35 seal kit.
I am looking for suggestion. I was told that I can use the arm out of a scout box. But does that put the pitman arm facing forward?
Also now if I am looking to spend money to fix this problem. Is there a way to install a 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 ratio gears in to my existing box?
I have been doing research on my option. But most things I have read are how to upgrade to power steering and not upgrading the exiting box. I have seen that are a couple shop that offer upgrades to the box, But have not been able to find anything on how to do it yourself.
Thanks
Scott
