I used a new replacement ram from Ecklers for an Impalla. Works great....

Thanks for link - says theirs fits up to '64. my '68 ram looks different. but, not sure if they are all the same or not.

I was referred to a shop in San Jose, CA - Straight Line Steering - that has a rebuilt ram with a new shaft in stock for $198 with exchange.

Re: Power Assist Ram Cylinder - Reseal Source Needed

MADE A BIG MISTAKE - started a thread in the Engine & Drivetrain section - 350 Big Oil Leak - Need Help - thought that oil from a front seal could not end up on suspension - will it did. but, I had myself convinced that the leak was coming from mounting end of power assist ram - Not. but, hopefully info here will help someone else.
