Series III Santana Stock Power Steering

[dvoight]

Good evening. I have a 1983 Land Rover Santana Series IIIa that is equipped with factory power steering and anti sway bars. It looks like the hoses are in pretty rough shape and the pump has been leaking for quite awhile. I also need to replace the bushings on the sway bars.

So my question...does anyone have any working knowledge of this system? I am learning as i go, but i haven't been able to find any documentation, parts, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Greenmeanie..

Here are some better pictures of the setup too. I got the fender off today and got things cleaned up a bit.

For what its worth hydraulic hoses are usually built to some fairly common standards. To replace them just pull them off and take them to your nearest hydraulics shop. They should be able to look at the fittings and whip you up a new set in a few minutes.

I suspect these have been replaced before as the hose at the bottom of the picture has a pretty poor routing due to that angled fitting. Its difficult to tell from just one picture but a striaght fitting looks like it would put a lot less stress on that hose.
