2000 Frontier XE Steering Gear Replacement
Greetings!
I changed my Steering gear last December from the 17 year old original to a Oreilly's Remanufactured One.
After just 7 months, The main shaft seal is leaking at the pitman arm.
(yes, replaced pump and hoses too with new fluid.)
I was wondering what other issues might caused this other than I got a "lemon" from the Oreilly's?
I use the standard Power steering fluid but maybe I need the import fluid?
Possible other issues with the Suspension that might stress out the shaft seal?
I just use it for light street, no off roading.
Thank you for your input
