steering box

I noticed fluid coming from under the box , I checked it out and the hoses seemed fine, Are there any seals that can be replaced or does the box have to be replaced? also how do you adjust the steering box? The van is a 93 e350 351 auto with 200000 miles.

There is a large screw with a lock nut on the top side of the box. Loosen the nut and turn the screw in. Do not go too tight. Straighten your wheels first. Try it a few times until you get some results.

thanks trike for that info, I went to the parts store and bought a seal kit and put it in the steering box I had to take the box of and pull the sector shaft out to put the new seals in, then the fun really begin ,putting the box back in , this is not a job for the faint of heart , if I new what kind of job this was going to be I believe I would have let a shop do it,allwell it is done now and there are no more leaks!
