1994 A/T 4Runner and my the adjustment screw of my power steering gear box is leaking. I had to really tighten (not an insane amount but quite tight) this screw since my steering is quite loose. Been fine for about 3 weeks and I just noticed this last night. Cleaned up the area and confirmed today that it's coming from the set screw. Taking a look at the part catalogue it looks like there is a gasket washer thingy under there that I must have mangled by over tightening. Does this sound correct to anyone? This is the part I'm looking at purchasing. Does that look right?

Also how do I replace? Is it as easy as taking of the nut, unscrewing the set screw, replace the gasket washer, and reassemble?






adjustment screw is bleeding red (white/blue)

Yes, that is a metal/rubber washer and it comes with any steering box rebuild kit. I got mine from Rock auto and rebuilt the box. You just remove the nut.
see my thread on rebuilding your steering box if it needs more than the washer.
