• | The steering gear - at the pinion shaft |
• | The pump drive shaft - with no special attention needed |
When a leak occurs in these areas, replace the seal under the following conditions:
Replace the shaft only if severe pitting is found. If corrosion in the lip seal area is slight, clean the surface of the shaft using a crocus cloth. Replace the shaft only if the leakage cannot be stopped by first polishing the shaft with the crocus cloth.
