Somerset V6-181 3.0L (1986)
Wear marks in the housing valve bore are considered to be normal and should not require replacement of the housing.
On some 1983 Cimarrons, a clunking noise when reversing steering direction may be encountered. This condition may be caused by excessive piston
ring to ring land clearance of piston and rod assembly. To verify this condition, during disassembly of the steering gear, insert a .010 inch feeler gauge at
any point between piston and piston ring. If feeler gauge can be inserted, excessive clearance exists and replacement of piston rod assembly and piston
ring is required.
