I have a -56 Newyorker & all I can say is "they don't build these anymore" & the only tricky part is the steering box when it's worn out - but even that it's possible to fix & I think French Lake Autoparts have a few sitting... Auto Parts – Annandale, MN – French Lake Auto Parts

Earlier I tried o take the whole complete box apart but the top part is dificult to say the least... So I was hoping there might be some way to fix it rather easy. I know rockauto have rebuilt ones but the cost for me to ship my old one & get theirs to here would be astronomic as I live in...

M steering box has way to much play & it has been screwed down to its bottom & now I've removed the down going shaft to see if it's possible to either cut or grind off a wee bit somewhere to make it go deeper. But I can't see how... Has anyone here done it & made it good? & if so; what's the...

Awsome cool! Here we call them "vacuum cleaner Dodges"... Had a -61 Plymouth once & those are called "lemon eaers", I know a guy who's got loads of 55-62 Mopars & he's got one each, bouth convertibles & both objects. Here's the Plymouth I used to have:

Funny this; I jus yesterday went to look at a guys MoPars, mostly 55-62 Chryslers but he also had a white 2 door post -61 Plymouth tha probably had been a police car! Same condition too...

I had the same when I gott my -62 Newport & as you can see on my profile pic I just rinsed i & kept the top chrome bit "naked" & liked it like that. I had an idea to put on some clear plastic hose but I thought that in my opinion it might not be as good.

I did the same on my -70 Satellite & it worked just fine, must be poor lubing that causes the problem..?

Would make a cool nascar clone... Turqoise & "43" . . .

Tried bleeding as the link sugested, nothing happens... I think I'll scrap the car.

Okidoki, gonna read that & see what I've missed... Pump looks like this: (what ever type that is)

So does anyone know a cure for why the oil don't pass thru the box??? As in the hoses & such are good...

Got the resistance cleared out, now to another problem... I don't get any powersteering at all! I've checked the pump with the pressure hose to spit in a glass container & the return hose in a bottle with oil & that worx fine, but when I put the return hose now coming from the box into the glass...

Due to "the rest of life" I haven't been able to get much done until just now & so I loosened the adjusting screw & I think it might have got a wee bit better, but the strange thing is that after almost one turn up with the Allen Key I couldn't back it up more... :( & there's still a bit resistance.

Done disconnecting shaft earlier, no difference, pitman arm next, exhaust is clear.

Sometimes, like now(!), I feel superstupid as I didn't think of that... Sure hope that's the problem, thanx!
