Adwest power steering box. Tips on refitting 

Mikes Top Tips, a series in itself! Brilliant. 😉

Hi Mike. Excellent job you´re doing here. I can make a sugestion on the steering box top cover sealing. Once I repaired one of these from one of my LR and I couldn't find a square ring for it and used a round one wich was a little triky to fit, but solved the problem of the leaking. Probably it's a so basic solution that could look stupid if Adwest didn't do that way, and they sure know the reason for a square section seal. Maybe it was lucky me.

...anyone else thought that the steering arm was on back to front?....yup, I'd forgotten it was on a lhd motor! :)

I wish there was a magic way of stopping the bottom seal from leaking.

Best thing for leaks , it is to fit oil cooler

Hi Mike, unrelated question but Land Rover related :-) would you know or remember what size half nut you put on the Defender gear stick when you did that modification to the gear knob some months ago?Many thanks, Richard.

Mike. Would one of the return-2-centre '4-Way/Terrafirma' steering dampers assist the power steering box and pump from turning those phat wheels & tyres ? Well done rebuilding a 4-bolt AdWest ! V.

hey, I replaced the whole box. Now I have the problem that my steering arm doesn't go far enough onto the teeth and the nut is only just with all the threads on it, have you ever had this problem? And is it normal for the washer to be bent after tightening? I would be very happy about an answer :)

Do these box seals go brittle if it's left empty and on the shelf for a couple of years then?
