My power steering assist cylinder (PSAC) was leaking so I'm tearing it down and replacing the seals. I'm waiting on new felt pads and dust shields, so I've been reading up on reinstallation. The only part I'm a little confused about is the travel adjustment. The TM states that when properly adjusted, the distance between the centers of the 2 ball studs (one on the spring shackle and the other on the knuckle arm) is 25.5" when the wheels are straight ahead.
The way I'm reading this is that I should reconnect the hydraulic lines to the cylinder, but not have the cylinder connected to the ball studs. Have a soldier b in the cab turn on the truck and turn the steering wheel until I measure 25.5" between the ball studs. Once there, mount the cylinder to the spring shackle stud and adjust the socket on the other side until it fits on the knuckle arm stud.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
