Power stering box leak

My power steering box just started to leak a little the other day. I checked it out and found the bearing has a little play too. Now does someone make a seal and bearing kit for my truck or is it just alot easier to put a new steering box on?

Put a new one on it the bushing is most likely wore. Seal is easy in and out once you get the pitman arm off. I had the same deal put two seals in it in a two month span. Finally put a whole new gear box. Look into steering brace for it to keep that shaft straight. It will last then.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds easier to just replace the box, I don't feel like doing the seal more than one time especailly if i have play in shaft. The steering brace i've seen advertized for is the DSS.
