Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Gates 350650 Power Steering Kit - Complete Repair Solution by John Eaton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The instructions are wrong!

Instructions are wrong. I tested it in my driveway and the seals were leaking very badly. Also, the steering wheel is stuck to the right. . Luckily I didn't drive. This happened because the instruction was misprinted so the build order is wrong. This caused the bearing to fall or slip in the steering box and lock up the steering. The snap ring is also missing. I also noticed that the locking ring on this kit seems a little flimsy, not the quality of the factory locking ring. I advise you to look at how your steering mechanism is assembled. I also noticed that there is some sort of keyway in one of the gaskets. The factory seal does not have this key guide. I'm not sure if this is leaking or not, although the keyway is a (small indentation on the edge of the seal) that sits under the bearing.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Purity
