Title: spring in steering box
Post by: BartSt on November 07, 2022, 16:10:21

All,

Hope all is well.

What is the function of the (fat) spring in the steering box?

The spring sits in a small barrel, and from the outside you see a small hole (see red arrow)

And it leaks ...

Help.

I know the steering box is a complex thing with relatively lite content.

But could somebody shed some light?

When the box leaks from that hole it's time for a rebuild.
