my steering wheel turns but no imput to the wheels, so i either sheared a pin by my universal joint or my power steering box is broken. any inputs and how hard is it to change the steering box? thanks for your replys in advance. 1995 disco 1! 3.9 liter. art in maine

 

So when you turn your steering wheel, your pitman arm under the steering box doesn't turn??
Check the shaft from the steering whell down to the steering gear box, is the coupeling tight or has it come loose?

mike, the universal joint going into the box turns, the input shaft turns also, but nothing else is happening. nothing is moving on the output side.i can turn my wheel all day long in both directions.i believe from a cutaway view in the parts manual, there is a pin on the input shaft and a pin on the output shaft.maybe i broke a pin? art

 

Sounds like you've broken the box internally. The output shaft has a flat on it where the drop arm is held on by the Nut. So-- there is no possibility of stripping it there. I have the steeringbox as a remanufactured unit for $375.00 plus shipping, and the $160.00 Core charge.

after further review, the universal joint is stripped and the input shaft or spline does not turn. spline is probably bad and stripped also. will get a chance to look at it further tommorow hoprfully out of this wet weather we have been getting up he-ah! i have a steering box on the way and will look over the front end real good. art
