You do not need to drop the sway bar for repair of steering ram. You need to drop the ram down where it is attached to the frame and you can then remove the snap ring. Do not completely remove the ram because you will need to blow the seal out by starting the motor and turn the steering. this will build up the pressure to blow the seal. The whole job should not take more than a couple of hours. Doug Greene dgreene944@aol.com 05/27/03 09:14 AM
