Steering gear maintenance
A manual steering worm shaft seal works at the point where the worm shaft exits the gear housing, holding lubricant in the box while the gears turn. Check that area on a regular basis, especially on older Jeeps with higher mileage. A seal that weeps will often leave dark streaks on the lower housing, and a low lubricant level will make the steering feel rougher over time.
Before replacing the seal, check the steering gear for play at the sector shaft and the pitman arm, since looseness can wear the new seal faster. Keep the steering box clean and refill it with the lubricant the vehicle requires. After installation, drive a short loop and recheck the seal area for any seepage before regular use.
