Toyota only has it with the entire rebuild kit. Turns out, it's the same seal as the power steering pump. $4 at Napa. 85 4Runner - With NEW Marlin 4.7 Gears!! It's a whole new beast! Re: leaky steering box [Re: Staceman] #779867 01/17/07 08:04 PM Anonymous Unregistered My mechanic said my hoses to the power steering unit (1989 6 cyl auto) were leaking and for just under $600 he could replace them. He did get authorized to do the front brakes for $600, which sounded OK. But what's the deal with these hoses? Is Toyota trying to convince me that these older things are not economically maintainable? Re: leaky steering box #779868 01/17/07 08:11 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 12,153 N. California.
