steering gear pitman seal leaking
Title says it all on this one 98 cherokee 4.0 4X4. The pitman shaft seal(s) is leaking pretty bad, leaving a dinner plate size oil stain on the driveway just overnight. I'm wondering if it is worth replacing the seals or should i just go for a new steering gear? If i am looking at replacing it, is there a specific brand i should aim for? I'm trying to stay away from autozone for parts like this. Thanks for any advice.

you should be able to get a rebuild kit with all the seals. pull the pitman arm off, then the cap on the top of the box.knock the seal out and put a new one in.
