Power steering lines leaking
Hello,

Installed a blue top steering box yesterday and I was wondering if the two steering lines take o-rings? They are leaking and I don't want to wrench down on them too hard.

The OEM box does not take o-rings on the fittings. They are more of a JIC type fitting.

Got it. I guess I will tighten them down a bit more. Just don't anything snapping off.
