[Rovernet] 3500S power steering drop arm

[Peter King]

Hi Roverphiles. 

I have some play in the steering where the power steering drop arm connects to the power steering unit. Not in the ball joints, but there is a small amount of movement at the end of the sector shaft where’re the arm connects. 

My PS unit also leaks pretty significantly. I’m assuming I need to rebuild the PS unit and replace the seals. But should there be any movement in the shaft at all, even with bad seals? Looks like there are numerous places that could wear:  sector shaft bushing, bearings, case, roller...  

Anybody have any experience with this?

Thanks,

Peter
