you can buy after market cylinder assemblies cheaper than you can get that one cut open and repacked. you can get it with or without the valve on the side of the unit. you should check really closely to see if this isn't a problem with the bell crank (center section) on the steer axle. also the mechanical connection at the valve where the drag link is connected can have play causing drift and hard steering. be warned you need to have hose plugs readily available or you will have one **** of a mess
