Hi everyone

DOES ANYONE ON HERE HAVE AN OLDSMOBILE 1953 CHASSIS PARTS BOOK?

I need to know the GM part numbers for the steering box "ballnut" for manual AND for power steering boxes. This is for a 1953 Olds 98. the part is section 6.841.

ANY help would be soooooo appreciated.

The number is 270788 . It doesn't differentiate between power steering or not on models between 1953 and 1955.

 

270788 It is the three bolt type. 1953-55 All; and 1956 through at least 1958 manual steering which have the worm bearing adjuster in the steering gear housing end cover.

 

Thanks so much for the replies everyone. QUESTION...what is meant by three bolt type? Three bolts in the side cover?

 

We really need a steering gear expert here to answer your question properly. I have a '55, and I thought that they were referring to the number of bolts which held the side cover on, but I'm not sure. The same parts book refers to the 1949 - 1952 models as the 1 bolt type. Somehow it doesn't seem likely that the cover would be held by only one bolt. But I don't know.
