steering box

ng box? <hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225); background-color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_start --> <!-- END TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_start --> hello all i've got a 93 f-150 5sp, 4wd, 4"lift and 33"tires, anyways I think the seal in the steering box is gone it leaked all of the power steering fluid out of what looks like the splined part above the pitman arm. If you jump in it and turn the wheel (armstrong) you can see the pitman arm turning with a bit of play in it.

so my question is this how do I know for sure this is the problem, and since it is potentially wrecked is there an udgrade I can do for the steering box or something.

thanks
tyrone
