92 E150 Power Steering Problem

I'm posting from Japan. Sorry for my bad English.

I own a 92 E-150 Club Wagon, and it has a problem with the
power steering.
It works only in counterclockwise direction. This suddnely
happened 2 weeks ago.
I checked the PS fluid and the level was right, it was not leaking.

I personally imported this van from US, since Econoline has not
been imported by any distributors. I guess only 100 (or so)
of E-150 are in Japan. That means...there are no dealers, no
shops that can repair this van here in Japan. (Maybe some small
shops can, but I don't know any.)

May this be the pump or gearbox problem, or PS switch problem?

I'm afraid I don't have the Haynes manual. I have ordered it to
US long time ago, but it still has been on B/O list.

If I may need to buy a rebuilt pump or gearbox, how much it cost
there in US?

I hope somebody understands what I say. Pls advise. Pls help!

Tengo, from Japan

Sounds like you have some seals blown in the gearbox, unfortunately.

The price for a remanufactured power steering box is ~US $170 from a parts store. Or about 20,299.54 JPY

Good luck,

Grrrr!
I wanted that to be the switch problem!!

No leaks, but it still be the gearbox problem?
I'm sorry I don't really understand the mechanism of the
power steering.

Thank you for the pricing information. Is this the price with
"No-Core-Exchange"?
Can I say "Remanufactured Power Steering Gearbox for
92 E150 Econoline" when I order it?
Is it easy to install?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks for all,

-Tengo, a Japanese in trouble
