Started with P.S. pump leaking into crankcase. Replaced seal, pump looks good, now steering locks to left and makes noises from the gearbox. This is power steering with everything in the gearbox, no external cylinder. Took the gearbox apart and the upper thrust bearing was destroyed. Also, the center of the casting between the thrust bearings (right above the cylinder) was broken out.
Can I just put a manual steering gear on it? I see YT has them for $613. From all I read spending the money to replace all teh broken parts may not last long anyway.
