The steering stopped working the other day so I took the steering assembly off. The steering Shaft wants to "unscrew" when turning the wheel in one direction and the other it was "****" back down and then turning the wheels. Once I took the assembly off and opened the gear housing I found the thrust bearing in pieces. But not sure how that bearing would keep the shaft from wanting to "unscrew" from the ball nut but I still need to disassemble the whole thing yet might find more damage. But having trouble getting the Pitman arm off. I have found a company that has a rebuild kit for this steering gear assembly made by Saginaw Gear. What I'm unsure of is the process of disassemble and the steps for the rebuild.

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
